Auschwitz 2: Section B2A: Quarantine







The quarantine section (known as section BIIa) of Auschwitz-Birkenau is the only section where the wooden barracks have been rebuilt.

I'm seen it claimed that this was a "swimming pool", but it was one
of several fire brigade reservoirs dotted around the camp

  1. Has anyone checked the land under each one of the wooden barracks that was built. i firmly believe because i have heard there have been subsidence issues with the building that train load of people were shot so they fell into big ditches dug, similar to what they did at Chelmno and then build a barrack over the top to hide the bodies. train tracks would have existed between barracks and right down the back of Auschwitz II, i have even seen a photo proving this! I also believe the large concreted area at the very back where train tracks existed at Auschwitz II is hiding a more sinister burial site of even larger ditches first dug for the bodies to be hidden. Could someone please investigate for me? If i had the money i would have already gone and taken a geologist/scientist with me and looked for myself. I have looked a satelite pictures with shows the ditches that were being dug (3 very close large ditches are fair end away from where people alighted from trains) beside the concreted area. I think every train load of person that arrived at Auschwitz and were shot and killed there should be identified before and redevelopment or anything done to the site and signs then placed in front of each burial site (Barracks) placed to show that they were killed and buried there for people to be more aware of the millions of people that had their lives taken away at this place. Plus people really need to know the horrors of this place. for example why are all the barracks latrins/toilets (the 3 rows of bricks and concrete running down the centres of each barracks) never completed. where is the nearest kitchen to all these barracks and nearest toilet? I have only ever found one picture of a competed latrins/toilets that consisted of holes cut into a concrete top! I have look at a lot of photos of Auschwitz and would be more than willing to explain why i believe certain things about Auschwitz. the swimming pools were for the guards not the jewish people, just look at the olympic swimming pool nearest Auschwitz I that had diving board and even winners podium not in usual dice configuration but so winner of swimming race stood the tallest. Its more than shocking what pleasures the guards of this killing centre had. Please ket me know or get back to me. email address = Jockhudson@live.com or my blog site www.jockhudson.blogspot.com Blog 40 may be of interest to you.
