News of Death Camp Killings Becomes Public for the First Time - June 1, 1942
Today, in the year 1942, death camp killings become known to the Western world. Tens of thousands of Jews were being gassed to death at a death camp in Poland called 'Chelmno'. The Jews were murdered by gasses being channeled into a vehicle that would transport them from the villages to Chelmno. The deaths were not noticed because they were silent and quick. This also differed somewhat from Auschwitz in that the goal of gassing Jews to death was with the intent of fully exterminating them. In Auschwitz, the ones who were fit and could be used were spared. The unfit were destroyed.
