Comparison of fences

Auschwitz I camp wall

Monowitz Complex wall

Birkenau wire fence

1. A 3 metre (10 foot) high concrete wall prevented spies from
viewing camp and receiving messages from inmates. No mass murders, but
cruel physical abuses are alleged to have occured here during 1943-44. If
the Germans wanted to prevent outsiders from seeing buildings and hearing
alleged victims screams, the wall could have been built twice as high and
around all four sides of the camp instead of just two.

2. A 2 metre (7 foot) high cement wall only partially blocked the
view of buildings in the synthetic rubber and chemical complex, where no
mass murders are alleged. The Germans built concrete walls at Auschwitz I
and Monowitz as only partial barriers, not to completely hide the camp
from outsiders seeing and hearing the inmates.

3. The Germans took international doctors and the Polish Red Cross
to the Katyn Forest in 1943 to show the world that the Soviets, not the
Germans, had mass murdered prisoners there. If, in 1943-44, the Germans
were mass murdering prisoners, they would have constructed a high wall to
prevent spies from seeing atrocities and hearing screams, otherwise their
enemies could have proven they were publicizing Katyn to cover up their
own murders and abuse.
