The catacombs of Paris
QUOTE
The Catacombs of Paris is [ sic ] a famous burial place in Paris, France. It is a network of subterranean tunnels and rooms located in what were Roman-era limestone quarries. The quarries were converted into a mass tomb near the end of the 18th century. It is most widely known as "the catacombs", but the official title is "les carrières de Paris" or "the quarries of Paris." Though the official tour only passes through the quarries in the 14th arrondissement, there are actually quarries in the 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th arrondissements (the municipal boroughs of Paris).
UNQUOTE
They had their own very private, nay, secret picture palace.

ZYKLON B and chlorine were invented by Fritz Haber, a Jew
Industrial chemistry was big in Germany and some of the talent was Jewish. Zyklon B which translates into English as Cyclone B was an industrial poison used for delousing in a time when fewer people had access to first class hygiene. Albeit this source skates over the Zyklon B but tells us that he did invent poison gas. His wife was so impressed that she topped herself.

The point about Fritz Haber is rather amusingly confirmed by the Wikipedia, a Jewish propaganda operation.
