The Hussites (“Chalice People”) were a Christian movement following the teachings of Czech reformer Jan Hus (c. 1369–1415), who became one of the forerunners of the Protestant Reformation. This predominantly religious movement was propelled by social issues and strengthened Czech national awareness.

Mobile Gas Chambers 
This is one of a series of communications on the problems with “S-Wagons,” written by Dr. August Becker, who made an inspection trip through Eastern Europe to observe their operation. S-Wagons were special vehicles used as mobile gas chambers. The mobile gas chambers were hermetically sealed boxes mounted on truck chassis. Carbon monoxide from the truck’s exhaust was pumped into the chamber to kill victims.

Report from SS (Schutzstaffel) Lt. Dr. August Becker to SS Lt. Col. Walter Rauff, 05/16/1942

New copy stand setup in the Rare Book Room. You’ll notice there are only 2 large lights, whereas in the previous photo there are 3. That may or may not be because the archives claimed one of the fixtures as a commission for setting this thing up for the library director.
