How much of what we know about the holocaust is based on cruel wartime
propaganda? This fascinating documentary investigates the myths
surrounding the legend:

Many jews died of louse borne typus in the camps. The Nazis tried to
rectify this by installing fumigation chambers to delouse clothing and
bedding. Some used steam, some used Zyklon B, a fumigation agent. From
that the Holocaust lie emerged.

After the war the camps were taken over by the notorious Jewish Soviet
NKVD. On March 15, 1945, Shlomo Morel became a chief of the labor
camp. According to Jonathan Sack:

On the first night at Swietochlowice, when the first contingent of
Germans arrived, at about 10 o'clock at night he walked into one of
the barracks and he said to the Germans,

"My name is Morel. I am a Jew. My mother and father, my family, I
think they're all dead, and I swore that if I got out alive, I was
going to get back at you Nazis. And now you're going to pay for what
you did."

As early as 1945 Salomon Morel's superiors from the Ministry of Public
Security's Prison System Department affirmed his responsibility for
the spread of epidemics and penalized him by placing him under house
arrest for three days.

Current research shows that 1,695 prisoners died due to the epidemic
of dysentery, typhus and typhoid fever which resulted from hunger and
bad sanitary conditions in the camp, and that Morel not only did
nothing to prevent the spread of their diseases but in fact created
conditions to facilitate their spread. He was charged with creating
unbearable life conditions threatening of biological annihilation,
specifically starvation, torture and physical and psychological abuse.
