Auschwitz plans put on display in Berlin

Architectural plans for the Nazi death camp Auschwitz that were discovered in Berlin last year go on public display in the German capital on Tuesday. The Axel Springer Verlag publishing company said Monday that it felt that it was its "duty" to put on display the 28 sketches that turned up in an apartment in November and ended up in its possession.

 

The documents, drawn on a scale of 1:100, show details for expanding the camp in Poland that include a crematorium and a gas chamber. They are dated between 1941 and 1943, and have been authenticated by Germany's federal archive, Axel Springer's Bild newspaper reported. (AP)
