:41:02
I prepared years
to go there.
:41:05
And to have a fool come in,
:41:08
coming completely unprepared,
:41:12
it's sacrilege.
:41:14
Somebody who walks into
the holy of holies
and doesn't give a damn.
:41:25
[ Leuchter ] I expected to see

been used as gas chambers.
:41:31
I expected to see areas

:41:39
There have to be holes in walls
or areas where they had

:41:45
There has to be something
to remove the gas after

These things didn't exist.

:42:32
The barracks are 50 years old.
They're moldy, they smell bad.
:42:36
It's not a smell of the war.
:42:39
It's a smell of decay,
of 50 years of being exposed
to the elements.
:42:47
There's no way that

:42:50

what it was to be led there
as a victim,
:42:55
to have to undress
