This film shows the standing cells under Auschwitz Block 11 which were used as punishment cells. In such a terrible place the punishment needed to be very severe. It is clear that someone sentenced to spending time in these cells would not survive very long.


My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced around 1,800 original films, most in English. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects.

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.

Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

Auschwitz will forever stay in my mind as the most horrible visit I've ever been on. And the most important.

I had a nightmare after coming back from Europe. I dreamed I was tricked into going into a standing cell. (It turned out I was sleep walking into my dresser.)

The standing cells currently are a re-creation as Arthur Liebenshel, the camp Kommandant had the originals removed, along with the black wall, from several sources, including Liebenshels daughter.

The cells were pitch black dark inside, up to 4 prisoners had to use the floor for a bathroom each night, and go to work in the morning.

Little air entered through small vents in the side of block 11. Deep snow would cover the vents and prisoners would suffocate.

I remember reading in a book some time ago that the SS also conducted experiments at Block 11 to see how long gypsies could survive on only salt water.

It is hard to understand the mentality of the SS quacks or even what they thought they could gain from many of their experiments.

Probably pure sadism for entertainment value Im guessing.

I think the book was The Nazi Doctors by Robert Lifto but I'm not sure.
