The red house was located to the side of the camp. After the destruction of several nearby houses, this house was converted into a gas chamber for the murder primarily of the Jewish population of Europe.
In 1942 the Nazis began to murder people here by transporting them from a railway siding near the camp by lorry to this house.
The bodies were initially disposed of by burial, but the Nazis found that there was a problem with ground water. The kommandant Rudolf Hoess went to Chełmno nad Ner to find out how bodies were there being destroyed by fire. On his return a system of burning bodies in open air hollows was devised.
From testimony given by former Nazi officials it would appear that usually only one gassing per day occurred in this building and that the bodies were left in there for some time - although at peak times there could have been more than one gassing.
After the construction of the gas chambers at the head of the railway line in the spring of 1943 the red house ceased to function for mass murder and it was pulled down.
It is believed that around 100,000 people were murdered on this site, giving a daily average figure of around three hundred deaths.
This film has not been censored in any way, it is what I filmed, nothing added and nothing edited and that is why it is so amateur. It will be noted that David Irving is not denying that mass murder was perpetrated on this site.
