The site of former Gestapo HQ in Auschwitz I.The gallows in the location was used to hang 47-year old SS-Obersturmbannführer Rudolf Höess-the first commandant of Auschwitz on April 16, 1947. He was one of the most sought-after war criminal and when arrested by British soldiers he was disguised as a lowly Gardner.
The Crematorium of Auschwitz I.
The current square shaped chimney is reconstructed, but the original is said to be round shaped. The four reconstructed holes through which Zyklon B pellets were dropped into the chambers are visible on the ceiling.
