Eva Kor is not the only survivor who claims to have seen flames coming out of the chimney of a crematorium. The book "Children of the Flames: Dr. Josef Mengele and the Untold Story of the Twins of Auschwitz" is full of such stories. I copied the quotes below from this post: https://forum.codoh.com/viewtopic.ph...t=7538&p=62606.
From page 9:
> During Mengele's mandated "recreation periods," males twins played soccer under a sky made brighter by flames pouring out the crematoriums.
From page 12:
> The sights of the camp - the dead bodies, the bones, the crematoriums spewing bright red flames into the vermillion skies - have continued to haunt Mengele's twins.
From the account by Zvi Klein:
I try to forget. I try to erase the memories. But I can't seem to leave Auschwitz behind, no matter how far I go. I find reminders of the the camp all over the world. Even right here in Israel. From the window of my apartment house in Ashod, I can see a factory-a large industrial plant that manufactures I don't know what. Textiles, I think. It has a large chimney which spews out fire at night. And when I look out my window in the evening, I see not a factory chimney, but the crematorium of Birkenau with its flames, its tall red flames leaping out at the sky.
From an account of Hedvah and Leak Stern:
> From our Moshav, we could see the chimney of a factory in downtown Ashod. We were reminded of the chimneys of Auschwitz, especially at night, when the flames poured out.
From the account of Judith Yagudah:
> It was like a nightmare when we arrived. We could see the chimneys, and the flames pouring out of these chimneys. My father turned to my mother and said, "You see, Rosie, the Germans are taking us to burn us." [...] my father had no idea what Auschwitz was when we arrived. But when we got out of the cattle car, and he saw the dogs, and the Nazis in uniform, and the flames billowing out from the crematorium, he guessed.
The father of the twins Lea and Menashe Lorinczi said:
> The children would stand for hours just watching the flames. The crematoriums were located only one hundred meters away from the twins' barracks. There was just a small fence in between.
Jewish twin Peter Somogyl recalled:
> We arrived at Auschwitz on July 9, 1944. It was early in the evening, and when we stepped out of the cattle cars, we could see the chimneys, with very, very high flames leaping out of them.
It's questionable if the crematoria would even produce smoke, but Carlo Mattogno wrote that even though they were designed to not emit smoke, they might have still produced smoke under certain conditions: https://codoh.com/library/document/f...crematoria/en/.
On the website of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a photo was famously photoshopped to add smoke coming out of a chimney (http://web.archive.org/web/200002291...0/pg22035.html):
Here's the original photo which is included in the book "Auschwitz Album" (http://www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/docs/...smokeFake.html):
