Fred Leuchter Jr. is a Holocaust denier whose "report" on the use of cyanide at Auschwitz has been repeatedly debunked. The approach Leuchter used, taking chips of brick from a reconstructed gas chamber, was so unscientific that it could never have proven anything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_A._Leuchter https://www.auschwitz.org/en/history/holocaust-denial/leuchter-report/ https://www.adl.org/glossary/fred-leuchter
