They were then allegedly led to the gas chambers under the pretext they were taking a shower. Holocaust experts have also linked the Sobibor guards to mass executions. "The guards were involved in the extermination process - the Nazis had few personnel in the death camps and the people who were there played an integral part in genocide," Dr. Edith Raim, a historian at Munich's Institute of Contemporary History, tells TIME...
