Excerpt:
I explained elsewhere that
the Majdanek museum quietly dropped its 63-year-old claim that this
room was a homicidal gas chamber at some point between April 2008 and
March 2009, but what's interesting about the prince's visit to the
ex-alleged homicidal gas chamber is the role of his guide, Tomasz Kranz.
Kranz states in the 2010 edition of his book The Extermination of Jews at Majdanek Concentration Camp (originally
published in Polish during 2007), that the claim about this room being a
homicidal gas chamber is "disproved", and that the chamber was actually
used for disinfecting clothing and an undressing room for prisoners—the
adjacent room is a shower room. (pp.43-44)
So in 2010 Kranz knew
this room had never been used a homicidal gas chamber despite the fact
it was shown as such to the British prince on in May 1993, in a tour
conducted by Kranz. Everyone is of course entitled to unapologetically
change their mind on a topic when presented with new evidence, but it
seems that Kranz may have been aware at the time of the prince's visit
that the room was never a homicidal gas chamber. More here.
