Zentralsauna, Processing facility in Auschwitz II-Birkenau, Poland
The Zentralsauna building contains multiple rooms where new prisoners underwent registration procedures and mandatory disinfection processes upon arrival at the concentration camp.
German authorities constructed the Zentralsauna in 1943 as part of the systematic processing of incoming prisoners at Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp.
The Zentralsauna remains a testament to the systematic dehumanization processes implemented during World War II, now serving as an educational site for visitors.
Visitors can access the Zentralsauna building during regular museum hours, with guided tours providing detailed information about its role in camp operations.
The building retains original features including registration rooms, shower facilities, and clothing distribution areas, documenting the initial experiences of camp prisoners.
