it is claimed that 20,000 people were shot at this wall.
I present 2 peeks behind the curtain. Albeit these clips do not show the complete wall. They show a partial look at the condition of the bricks.
I show another photo of the wall area many moons ago.
1. No wall taken at the time of the photo
2. Window coverings are not on the adjacent building
The other side of the wall is in great shape for being at least 80 years old. Here, I am able to show there was no wall back in the day.
Things that make you go hmmm

Re: Auschwitz Main Camp Death Wall
Auschwitz Museum historian Franciszek Piper once assigned a number of "more than 20,000" shooting executions to this wall (according to Yad Vashem). Today the Museum assigns it something like ~5,500 victims (article, video). Revisionism from the Museum.
They do admit that the wall is a "(reconstruction)" (article). I can find almost no detail on this. The wall was supposedly built in 1946 by Jewish survivors, much like Crema I which was at that time being altered to conform with their vision of mass murder. I would very much like to know how the wall is signed today -- and whether or not visitors actually recognize it as a reconstruction -- and when it was first admitted to be a reconstruction.
Supposedly the original wall was in use "from the fall of 1941 to the fall of 1943" and "was dismantled in 1944". I can't find anything that substantiates these assertions. What establishes that this wall actually existed? One gets the sense it could have been invented by the inmates to explain away why there weren't blood stains and bullet holes for thousands of executions.
On the other hand, the Germans may well have saw the need for a thick wall to catch stray bullets during legal executions. One can also imagine why they might have dismantled a wall like that, since by then they had direct experience with the Allies' propaganda work.
What makes no sense is that this same building and courtyard is supposed to have had two gallows, plus indoor shooting sites, plus lethal injections, plus gassings from as early as September 1941. What need would there be for five different execution methods in one small place? Further, why would all these executions be done inside the main camp, where it would be heard and seen, and where the bodies would have to be dragged across the camp to the crematorium? There would be nothing secret about this operation.
Worth adding that the "Death Wall" is also called the "Black Wall" because it is supposed to have been "made of black material" (according to Karola Fings's encyclopedia). The version of it that exists today uses only a facsimile of grey brick, so it's a pretty poor reconstruction. Whatever black layer it once included must have degraded.
