:49:01
I knew because
I was taught that they had
gas executions there.
:49:07
But I subsequently
found out...
:49:09
that the concentration camps
were, in effect,
slave labor camps.
:49:13
It doesn't make much sense
that they would take an
entire force of slave labor...
:49:18
and execute them.
:49:20
You get into a situation
where you start thinking
about what happened,
:49:23
you look at the facilities,
none of it seems to make
any sense.
:49:29
If I were to take
any one of the facilities...
:49:32
and attempt to conduct
a gas execution in them today,
:49:35
and the facilities
haven't changed at all
since 1942 or 194 1,
:49:41
then what, in effect, I'd do is,
I'd kill myself and everybody
helping me do the execution.
:49:47
I certainly don't have
a death wish,
:49:50
and I don't think
the German S.S.
had a death wish.
:49:53
If those facilities
could be made competent
for an execution,
:49:56
I would be the one
that would be able
to do that.
:49:59
I assure you that nobody could
do that better than I could.

[ Van Pelt ]
Leuchter has said
a number of times...
:50:13
that the place
wasn't touched.
:50:15
Just open your eyes.
:50:18
You realize that
this is utter nonsense.
:50:24
Virtually every brick,
:50:26
which was located in 1944
in one place,
:50:30
has been relocated
to another place.
:50:34
Where are all the bricks
of the crematoria?
:50:37
It's an interesting question.
:50:40
There's some mountain of bricks
in Crematorium Five,
:50:43
but for the rest
there are no bricks.
:50:46
I think I know
where they are.
:50:53
The real places to sample
are the farmhouses to the west
of the crematoria,
:50:59
the farmhouses
where people are living,
