The Jews were given towels and soap and 80 to 100 at a time were herded into a big van and driven away. "The doors were hermetically sealed," he said. "When the vail moved on. the gas would enter it and in this way they all were killed." Srebnik's job was to pull gold out of tha teeth of the bodies on their arrival at the crematorium.
