And the nonsense converges!
Goldfarb also mentions the use of chlorine lime in the gas chambers, because the motor could only supply gas to two of the ten chambers.
Goldfarb "remembers" Wiernik and his book, but can't remember his first name correctly, calling him Jacob instead of Jankiel. Wiernik never mentions Goldfarb.
So did the Soviets have an early unpublished version of the Treblinka gas/chlorine chamber story from the Warsaw Jewish/Polish underground?
Was A Year in Treblinka a collaborative writing project between subversives in Warsaw and Soviets?
By August 1944, there's cross-contamination between the early unpublished manuscript version of Wiernik's work and Goldfarb's interrogation with the Red Army.There was a separate opening in the roof for the gas to escape from the chamber. However, when the gas chamber first began operating, it turned out that the motor couldn't supply enough gas to all 10 chambers. It only supplied the first two.
Then, while the engine was being repaired, another, even more painful, method of killing was used. A significant quantity of chlorine lime* was urgently delivered to the building. A certain amount of chlorine lime was left in a wet state in a chamber, which was hermetically sealed. This process of poisoning the people in the chamber was incomparably longer, and therefore more painful. People were kept in cells for 24 hours, and even then, some sometimes remained alive.
* chlorine lime = хлорной извести
Google translates the complete phrase as "bleach" but each individual word as "chlorine" "lime"
How?
