Discussion
It’s for more theatrical exposure.
Wow. Wouldn’t be go behind the building and see it’s not an actual chimney?

This claim is false. The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum has repeatedly addressed the history and authenticity of the structures at the site, including Crematorium I. The crematorium and its adjacent areas, including the gas chamber, have been preserved and presented as they were during the camp's operation, based on extensive historical evidence, survivor testimonies, and Nazi documentation.
The chimney in question was reconstructed as part of the post-war effort to preserve the site, but this was done using original materials and based on historical records. The Museum itself has clarified that the reconstruction was necessary because the original crematorium was partially dismantled by the Nazis before the liberation of the camp. The Soviets did not "build it in 1947" as a fabrication—they restored it to reflect its original state.
You can verify this by checking the official Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum website, which provides detailed historical context and explanations of the preservation efforts:

The claim that this is a "renovation to keep reparation shekels flowing" is a conspiracy theory with no basis in fact. The site is preserved as a memorial and museum, not for financial gain.
