Block 10, Medical experimentation building in Auschwitz I concentration camp, Poland
Block 10 contained specialized chambers and medical facilities where Nazi doctors performed brutal procedures on prisoners between 1941 and 1945.
German physicians Carl Clauberg and Horst Schumann conducted mass sterilization experiments on women in Block 10 during World War II.
Block 10 stands as a permanent exhibit within the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, documenting the medical atrocities of the Holocaust.
Visitors can access Block 10 through guided tours of Auschwitz I, which explain the medical experiments conducted during the Nazi occupation.
Block 10 remains the only building in Auschwitz I where systematic medical testing occurred exclusively on female prisoners despite its location in the men's camp.
