Crematorium at Auschwitz I
Originally a munitions bunker, this building was converted to a crematorium and mortuary after August 1940. In fall 1941, the mortuary room was converted to a gas chamber, which remained in use until July 1943 when gassing was moved to Auschwitz II -Birkenau. The furnaces inside have been reconstructed to appear as they did, and dozens of candles lay inside the building as tribute to the dead.
