Ab April 1943 gab es den Block 10 in Auschwitz. Dort wurden medizinische Versuche an rund 800 Frauen vorgenommen, von denen über ein Drittel die Lagerzeit überstanden. Im Stammlager Auschwitz, inmitten eines Männer-KZ, ließ die SS-Lagerleitung Anfang 1943 ein zweistöckiges Gebäude, den Block 10, vom übrigen Gelände abtrennen. In ihm wurden jüdische Frauen eingesperrt, meist mehr als 400, auf engstem Raum.
