The Auschwitz Protocols, first published in English in November 1944, documents the layout, management, and conditions within the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland during the Second World War. The Protocols, also known as the Auschwitz Report, and the Auschwitz notebook, contain three documents, each prepared by prisoners who escaped from the camp: The Vrba-Wetzler report was prepared on April 25-27, 1944 by Rudolf Vrba and Alfréd Wetzler, two Slovak Jews who had escaped from Auschwitz on April 1oth; the report of Arnost Rosin and Czeslaw Mordowicz, who escaped from Auschwitz on May 27, 1944, and the “Polish Major’s Report,” written by Jerzy Tabeau, , who escaped on November 19, 1943.The Protocols are historically significant in that they are one of the first and most detailed description of the gas chambers in use at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and are also one of the first attempts to estimate the numbers of people being killed in the camp. The document is also invaluable as it provides details of the camp and the cremation ovens that could be known only by prisoners, nearly all of whom were eventually killed directly by shooting, injection, or gassing, or indirectly by lack of food, disease, and over-work. The matter-of-fact tone of the reports only adds to their poignancy. Included are 6 figures detailing the layout of the camp prepared by the escaped prisoners, plus 11 pages of photographs.
