"evidence about the mass murder occurring there"
Hahah. I love how Anne Frank's diary written by her father is a popular piece of "literature", but an actual testimony from the 1940s (called "Witold's Report") gets either buried, or – in the case of this picture – described by someone who didn't even read it. I did, though.
The testimony is about 150 pages long and there's not a single mention of the mass murder. The author mentions jews once or twice, in passing, not as something particularly interesting (because they weren't even the largest demographic of the camp).
The report focuses on the abysmal living conditions, occasional executions, and power-hungry guards assigning the worst jobs to the most intelligent people, effectively trying to break the spirit of the nation. I would compare it to Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago", though a bit more tame.
And by the way, the report doesn't mention rollercoasters, cages with lions, or gas chambers.
