The Holocaust is one of the more recent and well documented crimes against humanity. The exact locations and specific details of the most notorious extermination camps are well known from Nazi documentation, eye witness testimony and war crimes trials. This presents a unique opportunity to conduct geophysical and other non-destructive methods at suspected mass grave locations to develop a methodical, non-intrusive approach to studying mass grave sites. This abstract will discuss the results from one of the eight sites involved with this Geoscientists without Borders (GWB) project. The full project report will be available on the GWB website.
