Sep 6, 2008 - In 1942 KV had not been built but was used for burning bodies in 1944. Corpses were burnt in the meadow to the rear of the white house from October 1942.

Sep 6, 2008 - Mr. Heath, can you explain why 2 direct eyewitnesses claimed the cremation pits were in completely different places. Filip Mueller claimed they were in the yard of KV while Nysizli claimed they were outside Birkenau by a distance of 500 yards. Which is it?
