Auschwitz Protocols

A collection of eyewitness accounts compiled by three prisoners who escaped from the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1943-1944. The Auschwitz Protocols provide a detailed description of camp operations, including the arrival of Jews in the camp, the selection process, and the killing operations. Also known as the "Auschwitz Report," the document was initially shared with and circulated among various Jewish and Allied organizations working to publicize the atrocities being committed by Nazi Germany. The War Refugee Board published the report in the United States in 1944 under the title "The Auschwitz Protocols." Its publication was critical in raising awareness of the Holocaust and solidifying efforts to address the atrocities, and in contributing to the growing body of evidence that would inform post-war trails against Nazi criminals.
