In the Auschwitz camp complex, the existence of a “maternity ward” (German: Entbindungsheim) or obstetric unit was a grim paradox resulting from the evolution of Nazi policy toward different groups of prisoners and from the economic needs of Nazi Germany. Importantly, its existence in no way negates the existence of gas chambers used for mass murder in Auschwitz.
During the initial period of the women’s camp, any pregnancy was effectively a death sentence for a prisoner. Pregnant women were considered unfit for work and were killed either by phenol injection or in the gas chambers. A turning point came in mid-1943 (probably in May), when, due to the enormous demand for labor, the camp authorities stopped killing pregnant non-Jewish prisoners. They were allowed to give birth so that, after a short period, they could return to forced labor.
Jewish children were murdered without exception, most often by drowning in a bucket, until the end of October 1944.
From mid-1943 onward, non-Jewish children were allowed to live and were entered into the camp records as “new arrivals,” receiving tattooed camp numbers on their thighs or buttocks.
Most of the children who were not murdered immediately died from starvation and disease within days or weeks.

Denial of the existence of gas chambers is a disgraceful assault on the memory of all those people: Jews, Poles, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war, and all other victims. It is also a slap in the face to those prisoners who risked their lives to document and convey the truth about German crimes, as well as to the Survivors who still bear the trauma of their personal experiences.
