This would have been the changing room, where the prisoners stripped down before entering the gas chamber. In this changing room, a woman prisoner was able to steal a guard's weapon and kill one guard and injure another.

The barracks that some prisoners stayed in. These barracks were the first ones and were made of brick. Most barracks would be made of wood.

Inside a barack.

These barracks I estimated to be about 1800 square feet and housed 700 prisoners at times.

The chimneys that stand where barracks used to stand.

The inside of a washroom barrack. In Auschwitz II, washrooms were in a seperate barrack and could only be accessed two times per day.

This shows the outline of Auschwitz I.
