After Himmler's second visit to the camps in mid-July 1942, when he assessed the efficiency of the provisional gas chambers as insufficient, a plan was developed to create extermination facilities on a scale never seen before.

In the summer of 1942, the German company Hoch und Tiefbau AG, with its Katowice branch, began building four massive crematoria complexes (II, III, IV and V). Crematoria II and III had underground undressing rooms and gas chambers. Crematoria IV and V were entirely above-ground buildings. The crematorium furnaces were built by the company Topf i Synowie from Erfurt. These facilities were put into use between March and June 1943.

The people dying there died painful deaths, in humiliation, intensified by the sight of their dying loved ones.

Part of our history. It is always too crowded. You have to pay for even using the restrooms...
