How is he still not getting it? This would be alarming if it weren't so hilarious.
The highest trace that Markiewicz found was 640 µg/kg which equates to 0.64 ppm.
This is
1,000 times lower that what is found in an apple
Your utter inability to grasp basic concepts makes you look and sound like you have some sort of mental retardation, incapacity, or both, and your mindless droning on, with your occasional resonance with Nessie who is our resident [redacted] is fucking hilarious to everybody reading.
Well, that's rude and most definitely a projection.
The fact that apple seeds have more cyanide per gram than the highest residues found in gas chamber walls does not diminish the significance of the gas chamber findings.
The gas chamber cyanide residues reflect a different kind of chemical process — cyanide bound or trapped in building materials after exposure to hydrogen cyanide gas, not free cyanide or concentrated cyanogenic compounds. In apple seeds, cyanide is present as cyanogenic glycosides, which are organic compounds that release cyanide only upon digestion or crushing.
The very low ppm range (sub-1 ppm) in walls is consistent with decades of environmental degradation, weathering, and the chemical nature of cyanide binding in bricks/mortar.
The comparison highlights that cyanide presence in walls at sub-ppm levels is plausible and consistent with chemical expectations.
It demonstrates that absence of very high cyanide concentrations in gas chambers is not surprising or suspicious, given:
Short exposure times to Zyklon B gas.
Environmental weathering for decades.
Differences in chemical binding and physical context.
Analytical methods used (like Markiewicz’s microdiffusion/colorimetric test) detect cyanide reliably at levels much lower than 0.64 ppm—sometimes down to single µg/kg (ppb) levels.
Background samples taken from nearby, unrelated buildings at Auschwitz consistently showed no detectable cyanide. So the local geological environment and construction materials do not naturally contain cyanide at this level.
If 0.64 ppm were just background noise, you'd expect similar levels across all sampled buildings, but that is not the case. Cyanide residues are found only in specific rooms historically documented as gas chambers or delousing chambers.
Adjacent rooms, unrelated buildings, and control sites show no or negligible cyanide. This non-random spatial distribution makes contamination or background origin extremely unlikely.
Forensic protocols include chain-of-custody for samples, use of blanks and controls, and analysis by multiple independent labs. Consistency of results across labs and over repeated tests argues against lab contamination.
In addition to that, cyanide residues are just one part of a larger forensic and historical puzzle.
When you insult me and speak to me like that, it strongly suggests that you don't know what you are actually talking about and just repeating what you read from Rudolf et al.
