It was July 1942. Thousands of Jews were beginning to arrive at the German concentration camp at Auschwitz. Reichsfiihrer Heinrich Himmler had arrived to inspect the operation. Himmler was not happy with what he saw in Auschwitz. "To a former teacher of mathematics," wrote Rudolph Vrba, who was one of the prisoners, "the whole business was just too haphazard for words." In the wake of his visit, Himmler "gave orders for the greatest, most efficient extermination factory the world has ever known. For the modem concrete gas chambers and the vast crematoria that could absorb as many as 12,000 bodies in twenty-four hours, and, in fact, did so. For the machinery that sucked in 2,500,000 men, women and children in three years and puffed them out in harmless black smoke" (I Cannot Forgive, pp. 9-10). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
