[edit] Summary

Plan of Crematorium II and associated gas chamber at Auschwitz II.

Victims we led into underground chambers (A) where they were orderd to strip. They were then led into gassing chamber (D) where officers would pour poision-gas granules into four holes (E) in the chamber's roof.

The Sonderkommandos then moved bodies to area (F) and removed gold-teeth and checked openings of the victims' bodies for hidden valuables. Then they would put bodies onto carts (area F) and load them into ovens. The smoke would rise from the chimney (H). The ashes were periodically removed and dumped in pits (I) and other areas (marked J).

Victims bones cleaned from the ovens were ground (to the consistency of rough salt) and tipped into the river above the sewage plant (M) at the top-left of the plan.
