If you'd put on your Columbo hat for a minute, you'd realize that geography is crucially important to the discussion. You see, originally, the claim was that all the German camps were death camps, along with elaborate stories of mass executions and gassings in them. Western investigation of the camps to which they had access (camps that were on our side of the Iron Curtain after the war), however, quickly revealed that said claims could not be supported, so they were abandoned by all. All that was then left were the claims maintained by the Soviets that the camps on their side of the Iron Curtain had indeed, during the war, been German-operated death camps. But this claim is a mere continuation of what had been Soviet war propaganda during the war vis a vis the Germans and, post Cold War, could not be substantiated.

In fact, the curator of Auschwitz, when pressured, was forced to admit that the structure they'd been promoting all along as the Auschwitz gas chamber had actually been a bomb shelter when under German control. The Soviets, upon capture, transformed it into a crude simulation (a prop) of a gas chamber by installing ports into the ceiling through which Zyklon B was said to have been tossed on top of Jews to kill them.

Leaving aside the issue of Zyklon B not working that way (it requires a machine to heat it to a high heat, with a blower), the way that "gas chamber" is constructed would result in the Germans being regularly wiped out by the poison gas. Just one example is that there are drains on the floor inside that lead to drainage pipes, which connect up to the drains in all the other buildings. The gas would have killed everyone in all those other buildings each time people were gassed in the "chamber."
