Jacek Lachendro, deputy director of the Auschwitz Museum's research department, told Spiegel TV, a German program associated with the weekly newsmagazine, that bales of human hair, which are still on exhibit in the Auschwitz Museum, were found at a factory in Kietrz, Poland, at the end of World War II.
