Therefore , long before the first Jew was lined up at a ditch to be shot by the Einsatzgruppen , and longer yet before the first Jew died in a gas chamber , The Western governments were well aware that Jews in Germany , and eventually throughout Europe , were at grave risk . African-American French Resistance officer , Josephine Baker , on the other hand , survived the war unharmed , and it is greatly to the credit of the French Republic that when she died in the 1970s she received a state funeral . When they had been used up in the first run , they had to be replaced by new samples taken from the same bigger lumps of material . When Otto Frank died in 1980 , he gave the diary to the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation . The present study shows that in spite of the passage of a considerable period of time ( over 45 years ) in the walls of the facilities which once were in contact with hydrogen cyanide the vestigial amounts of the combinations of this constituent of Zyklon B have been preserved . The concentrations of cyanide compounds in the samples collected from one and the same room or building show great differences . About six million Jews died in the Holocaust . Category 4 was much larger , but little seems to have been done to them unless they were caught acting against German interests , as happened to the Surinamese national hero Anton de Kom , who was active in the Dutch resistance and died in the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1944 ( it is a truly shameful matter that his contribution to Dutch resistance to German occupation was not acknowledged by the government of the Netherlands until the 1980s , though when his homeland of Surinam became independent the university there was named in his honour ) .
