sc0003c604, "ZYclon B"* - a photo on Flickriver

            ***Zyklon B"  transl, from German: Cyclone, "B" stands for "Blausauere" transl.: blue acid.
Degesh stands for: "Deutsche Gesellschaft fur die Schadlingsbekampfung" transl.: German Association  for the combating of Parasites. The above is from a "Zyclon B" canister that was cut, hammered flat, stenciled and hand painted.
"Zyclon B" was manufactured under license by I.G.Farben and was sold in large quantities to the various concentration camps for the sole purpose of exterminating Jews and "other" undesirable people. 
Rudolf Hoess commandant at Auschwitz describes the process in his memoir thus: "They are placed in the chambers, the doors are screwed tight and my "fumigation team" empties the canister into a caged shoot that extends all the way to the floor, those standing nearest drop dead instantly, the others depending on size of load and how close they are to the shoot may take up to fifteen minutes to die, those furthest stagger around wailing and screaming as they gasp for air. Finally the screams turn  into a "death rattle" and then silence. We wait fifteen more minutes before we let the clean up crew "mop up".  In the meantime my "salvage" teams search body crevices for hidden valuables and remove gold fillings, The "barbers" remove the woman's hair: nothing goes to waist in my factories.
