Leuchter: The Leuchter Report

By Fred Leuchter. This book, a report on the very first forensic examination of Auschwitz, caused a sensation when first published. The author, a previous contractor to the U.S. government in the design of modern execution technology, was commissioned to carry out a proper scientific forensic examination on-site at Auschwitz. He collected samples and had them anonymously analysed at commercial laboratories. The results, which showed that the claimed gas chambers could not have been used as such, have reverberated around the world ever since. P/B, 68pp.
