1968 Documentary of Auschwitz Birkenau Excavation

[Stubble]

Well fellas, in 1968 a polish company was sent in to help gather evidence if I recall correctly. They gathered evidence by doing some excavations, doing bore sampling etc. They even removed the rubble from Krema III LK-1, they may have also removed the rubble from LK-2. I don't recall and I still can't find the report anywhere.

Apparently, they brought a film crew along. They made a short film called Archeologia;

Directed by Andrzej Brzozowski.

I was wondering if anyone here had seen it or knew where a copy could be viewed.

Thank you for your time.

Also, don't forget to go watch the Holocaust Summit in the morning. Archie, the banner looks nice man, and the links are handy. It'll be hard for anyone to miss that one.

This is it.

Archeologia (Andrzej Brzozowski, 1968)

Matches the IMDB description as being a short, and other info as being a silent film (no music or dialog).

The crucifix from the cover is shown in the video at 11:25.

Run time is short. I wonder what they trimmed. I have a run time of 26 and change listed compared to the 14 odd minutes.

Also, THANK YOU. I have now seen at least some of it.

Odd that this is from some random person and in 2024.

One would think this film would be significant for the orthodoxy since it shows a pre trial archeological excavation of the crime scene.

I guess they can't all be zingers.

Indeed, but then it's pretty obviously a dramatization of archaeological work. Well, imagine this would have made the rounds in the 70s / 80s... People would have asked for the results and findings of that type of research.

I was rather hoping to get a look at the floors in the LK's of Krema III and at the bore samples from where the team drilled to 'prove up' mass pyres.

This could still come from the study, if it were ever made public.

Looks period correct - the archeologists lights up a cigarette as he gets to work.

From what I can see they were digging out some trinkets and then hold them in the camera. Nothing there to support the Holocaust-Hypothesis, while it doesn't contradict it really neither. But to an audience that looks somehow impressive that 'the scientists' have investigated the place and hence the Holocaust is somehow scientifically proven. They don't give too much about methodology.

[Stubble]

True. Again, I was hopeful to see some frame of the floor of LK1 at Krema III.

True. Again, I was hopeful to see some frame of the floor of LK1 at Krema III.

The lack of physical traces left by former fixation/attachment devices for the fictive Kula columns on that floor is very telling and disproves the gas chamber conspiracy theory...

And I am absolutely not allowed access to the pictures that prove it from when they cleared out the rubble from LK1 at Krema III, because they prove it.

These is also the bore study they did to consider.

If the report was in their favor I have absolutely no doubt they would be promoting the report. Instead, they keep it under lock and key.

It is very telling.

Yes, very telling. Would have been the smoking gun they've been looking for during decades.

Looks very much like what they did in 1990, when the Institute of Cracow confirmed Fred Leuchter's findings and they swept it under the rug.

Jean-Claude Pressac wrote a few words about the 1968 job:

The author knows of two other excavations made during the 60s to investigate the gas chambers of Krematorien II and III. The first dug a trench around the walls of Leichenkeller 1 of Krematorium II [Documents 106, 107, 108 and 109]. The second, undertaken in August 1968, was at the northern end of Leichenkeller 1 of Krematorium III and cleared away the soil to expose the air extraction vents near the base of the walls [Document 55]. This last excavation was not consolidated and resulted in land slips that further damaged and jumbled the ruins of this part of Krematorium III.

Adding on the next page that the "trenches were filled in afterwards". Plus he shared four photos of LK1: https://www.historiography-project.com/ ... tz/265.php

It looks like a messy job. Not clear to me what they meant to accomplish or why they stopped.
