Original Note:
The ICRC did not inspect Auschwitz during WWII. In 1944, they visited Theresienstadt, a "model ghetto" staged by the Nazis to mislead inspectors. After the war, the ICRC acknowledged the Holocaust’s full scale, including the mass exterminations at Auschwitz and other camps. https://www.theholocaustexplained.org/the-camps/theresienstadt-a-case-study/red-cross-visit/
