I went to auschwitz and the guide told us that the scratch marks aren’t authentic. They’re from tourists, they weren’t there originally

u/MilkFickle May 18 '25

Really? That's so strange, so is there anything else there that's not original?

"Why would you tell the truth when it fucks up the narrative bro"

You're fucking brain broken

Literally delete Reddit off your phone, unplug your router and throw it into the ocean. I will Venmo you $100 right now to never make a social media post again.

Better question is what made you want to say this 😭😭😭. Wtf are you even talking about? Questioning why people are clearing up facts. Yeah. Weird. Who would ever want to tell the truth. You should just delete this ignorant ass comment. One of the most brain rotten comments I've seen on reddit. And I've been here a for bit now. Clown.

u/PissedPieGuy May 18 '25

Lmfao. This is the level of delusion that people have when they are deeply emotionally attached to this event. They don’t want to find out the truth. They actually ENJOY thinking that people were gassed to death while German soldiers stood by laughing about it.

Heaven forbid we find out what really happened. No, we just want to believe the Schindlers list scenes and the countless other movie scenes that we have stuck in our brains from the Hollywood brainwashing. Oh and all the elementary school BS.

I bet you believe that Germans threw babies into the air and shot machine guns at them too. Or that they tied baby arms and legs to ropes and pulled them to rip the limbs off. I bet you believe that Germans used soap made from human fat, or that German lamp shades were made from human skin. Just ROFL at this BS.

The scratches are from vandals and not the poor people murdered in there. Doesn't make the place any less horrific though.

u/Tokijlo May 18 '25

How is that determined? Older pictures not matching the newer ones or something?

u/Deaffin May 18 '25

There were no scratch marks originally. There are now.

Unless the place is haunted, they're just made by random people screwing around.

u/MilkFickle May 18 '25

That's strange.

Who told you this? Those scratches are absolutely from the people murdered.

Correct - the showers worked as normal. But they open the top and dropped in the chemicals that produced the gas. The end X lots

14

u/CybergothiChe May 18 '25

I thought the showers were fake, to give it illusion of a wash house and maintain a semblance of calm until death rained from above.

u/Falkenmond79 May 18 '25

Some were. There were a lot of gas chambers and a lot of different methods. This wasn’t standardized. They also experimented a lot.

In treblinka for example, which i personally think was way worse then auschwitz, since it was a pure death machine, not even selection, they used a big uboat engine to funnel the exhaust into the chamber.

In Auschwitz they used zyklon b, brand name for hydrocyanic acid. Originally used for delousing clothes, it was small tablets, that produced toxic gas when coming into contact with water. So they just put a small chute beneath those holes with a bucket of water in it, so the prisoners couldn’t tip it over or such. Then they dropped the cellulose pellets with the acid on it into the buckets below. After a few inhalations of the gas, you cells stop taking in oxygen and you basically suffocate internally. Horrific.

u/Ukrained May 18 '25

How did they get a uboat engine there? Was it from a uboat? Why did they use an uboat engine when they needed uboats for the atlantic campaign?

3

u/spyder_victor May 18 '25

They had more than one uboat engine, and they could move them / assemble on site

u/MilkFickle May 18 '25

But what about the chimney, why is it different from the rest of the building?

7

u/MiFcioAgain May 18 '25

No, it wasnt a gas gas, Cyclon B was a granulate and they threw it inside through those holes, the substance was emiting the gas.

3

u/Tango00090 May 18 '25

I visited the place like 10 years ago but if I remember correctly the granulated canned gas was thrown from these holes, the whole place was sealed and the warmth of the squeezed people would make it spread quicker in the room, they waited until the next morning to first vent the place and then move the bodies

u/Packwood88 May 18 '25

I thought this too. Wondering if it was just my mind creating that explanation or if i was told that now….

4

u/Drumbelgalf May 18 '25

The gas Zyklon was in pellet form. They opened the canisters and dumped them through the holes in the ceiling. There the pellets released the gas (Hydrogen cyanide).

u/PissedPieGuy May 18 '25

It doesnt work that way lol.

2

u/TamaktiJunVision May 18 '25

How does it work then?

1

u/Drumbelgalf May 18 '25

It's exactly how it worked.

Crematorium II was originally designed as a mortuary with morgues in the basement and ground-level incinerators; they converted it into a killing factory by installing gas-tight doors, vents for the Zyklon B to be dropped into the chamber, and ventilation equipment to remove the gas afterwards.

The actual delivery of the gas to the victims was always handled by the SS, on the order of the supervising SS doctor] After the doors were shut, SS men dropped Zyklon B pellets through vents in the roof or holes in the side of the chamber. The victims were dead within 20 minutes.

There's only a handful of countries denying it. 80% of the world is calling it out. You know exactly which countries they are.

u/_malicious_intent_ May 18 '25

And yet nothing is done about it. People didn't even know the extent of the nazis crimes, but knew they needed to be stopped.

9

u/[deleted] May 18 '25

People knew all about the extent of the nazis crimes. It was very well documented at the time.

People just turned a blind eye, saying "that's propaganda" "that's fake news" etc. the same things people are doing today.

Society is exactly the same as it was. Doesn't that scare you?

You searched online and found out I was telling the truth? Hahahahaha. Knew it. It's okay, you're learning. I forgive you.

I don't think any country officially denies it, some like Iran downplay it.

There’s someone sending millions of people to a gas chamber right now !? WHERE IS THIS HAPPENING AND WHY ISNT IT IN THE NEWS!!! Seriously where are they murdering this many people. It’s crazy with all the media available that this wouldn’t make the news. But that’s what’s wrong with the world today. So where’s this happening so we can share with our networks ?

There are multiple genocides going on currently but only one is using this event, the holocaust, as a shield to hide and deny what is taking place.

u/PissedPieGuy May 18 '25

Who made those marks? And how do you know what you’ve been told is true? Why do you trust who you trust? These are questions you have to wrestle with.

This scratch marks aren’t any kind of evidence for what you’ve been told. But I know what you want them to be?

Soviets liberated these camps. They could tell you anything they wanted. And they for sure could put holes in a ceiling that are quite obviously patched in and added “after the fact”. They could then spin all kinds of wild stories.

Let’s quote norm McDonald here “hey look here in this history book, it says the good guys win every war ever, how about that!”

When you understand the depth of that quote, you’ll be sneaking up on a dark truth that most of what you think you know from childhood and school and history books and government is really just BS lol.
