I haven't read it, but in it he supposedly talks about extermination of Jews by throwing them into fiery pits. This apparently was dropped out of the narrative, have you heard of it anywhere else?
Everywhere else there is talk about cremation and gas chambers, but only he talks about the fiery pits.
Elie Wiesel claimed there were “Fire Pits” and that bodies burn on their own, their own fat becoming fuel. These claims are all impossible as well. Auschwitz had too high a water table to allow for fire pits. Even burying the bodies would contaminate the entire Camps drinking water.
