"They know it's forbidden to give the prisoners cigarettes," explained one guard last week, "but whenever a new bunch comes on duty, they figure he's just a harmless old man, so they hand a few through the bars."

Some survivors insist that rich Jews bought their freedom by shipping poor Jews to the ovens of Auschwitz. One of the baron's colleagues. Dr. Rudolf Kastner, was denounced by an Israeli court in 1955 for his dealings with the Nazis. Later, Kastner was murdered on his doorstep by vengeful Jews...
