A brick barracks for prisoners at Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp. Inside, there were 60 brick partitions, each with three levels of bunks, creating in total 180 bunks. Usually four people slept on each bunk, but when the camp was overcrowded, this number increased. According to SS plans, each of these barracks was to house over 700 prisoners. Initially, these blocks had dirt floors, but with time, these were covered with a layer of bricks or concrete. — Video: instagram.com/sofimatte | Auschwitz Mem
