Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Block 11 where there are prison cells in the basement.

In the lower part of the Block 11 were some prison cells.

The first tests using Zyklon-B had been done in August 1941 in one of these basement cells (cell# 27). Zyklon-B was, at that time, being used extensively in the Auschwitz concentration camp, and at most of the other camps, as an insecticide to kill body lice in clothing in an effort to prevent typhus epidemics.

The cell was sealed by packing dirt into the concrete well around the window outside; then the prisoners were shoved inside, Zyklon-B crystals were thrown in through the door, and the door was quickly shut.
