Eric Hunt’s main point was that he didn’t know where those unfit for work went (except for the gas chamber), but there are many documents indicating transfers of children and old people from the supposed extermination camp Birkenau to non-extermination camps. He himself used clips from the Soviet Majdanek propaganda film numerous times in his various documentaries, proving that Majdanek wasn’t an extermination camp as was claimed back then. The narrator says
In 1943 the SS transferred Greek Jews unfit for work from Auschwitz to Majdanek.

To provide soap for Germany … [Prof. Spanner] used, in the mode of the Shakespearean witches, racially and ethnically diverse corpses in his experiments … This defies the popular perception that the soap was made of “pure Jewish fat.” … We may consider this misperception a curious symptom of a purist and essentialist reading, or, at least, note that the tension between essentialism and utilitarianism reaches its peak in this misreading.
