Did German Firm Schaeffler Process Hair From Auschwitz?
“he deputy head of the Auschwitz Museum’s research department, Dr. Jacek Lachendro, told SPIEGEL TV that part (1.95 tons) of the hair still exhibited in Auschwitz today was found in a factory in Kietrz at the end of World War II. The original statements given about the site where the hair was found showed the the factory belonged to Schaeffler’s company, Lachendro told SPIEGEL TV. He presented a bale of cloth made from human hair. The bale was found at the factory after the war. He also said there were transcripts from the interrogation of former factory workers claiming that in 1943, two train wagon loads of hair were delivered to the factory in Kietrz. Tests conducted later by Polish authorities found that it was human hair containing traces of Zyklon B — the poison used in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.
