| | However they have always rejected the argument that the camp was designed as an extermination camp, that mass gassings were conducted there, or that the total number who perished was anywhere near the alleged total of 600,000. | | | One of the structures is suggested to have been the camp generator building; power was normally generated through the use of diesel engines in such remote facilities. | | | Estimates from either R1 or R2 for the total number of dead discovered in these 33 mass graves are in the "thousands" -- this suggests periodic burials of comparatively small numbers, which would be consistent with either epidemics, shootings, or small "gassings", but not consistent with the numbers, or the procedures, usually claimed. |
