Auschwitz was a center of chemistry. The German \nchemical industry built gigantic factories for rubber, fuel, lubricants \nand methanol there, and the SS experimented with natural sources of \nrubber. But that's not what people associate with the name \"Auschwitz.\" \nThey think of gas chambers and Zyklon B, which are two entirely chemical\n things as well.

The gas chambers of Auschwitz have been called the epicenter of human\n suffering. More human beings are said to have died a violent death \nthere than on any other place on earth in the history of mankind.

The biggest crime scene of history, in terms of its death toll, not \nonly demands the utmost respect for its victims, but should also attract\n the most-intensive attention of forensic researchers to find out what \nexactly happened, and how. Or so one might think.

Forensic research on Auschwitz, however, has always been \ncontroversial. Investigating the gas-chamber mass murder is considered a\n blasphemous act, a way of disturbing the peace of the dead.

While respecting the victims, whether of foul play or of \ncircumstance, this documentary nonetheless tries to conduct Auschwitz \nresearch on the basis of the forensic sciences, where material traces of\n the crime and their interpretation reign supreme. Although it is \ngenerally agreed that no autopsy of any victim has ever been performed, \nmost of the claimed crime scenes – the chemical slaughterhouses called \ngas chambers – are still accessible to forensic examination to a greater\n or lesser degree. So, what did these gas chambers of Auschwitz look \nlike? How did they operate? What were they used for? In addition, the \ninfamous Zyklon B can also be examined. What exactly hides behind this \nominous name? How does it kill? And what effect has it on masonry? Does \nit leave traces that can be found still today?

These and many other questions are thoroughly examined in this \ndocumentary. The horror of Auschwitz is meticulously dissected, and \nthus, for the first time, it really becomes comprehensible.
