RIGHT: In 1997 the Simon Wiesenthal
Center (SWC) posted the same photo on its Website captioned:
"As these prisoners were being processed for slave labor,
many of their friends and families were being gassed
and burned in the ovens in the crematoria. The smoke
can be seen in the background." It is dated "June 0,
[sic] 1944."
The smoke is faked. It's been
airbrushed in. There is no smoke to be seen in any Allied
photo taken of Auschwitz -Birkenau during 1944. It is
well known that crematoria do not emit such smoke. In
this ludicrous and fraudulent artwork the "smoke" appears
to be coming from a fence post.
After this fakery was exposed
on the Web, the SWC cut the ONE LINE in its caption
referring to "smoke," and the altered photo was replaced
with the original.
