Kitchen Blocks, Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland.


According to an educational website run by the London Jewish Cultural Centre, diets in the Nazi-run camps consisted of imitation coffee or tea for breakfast, “watery soup” for lunch and 300 grams of bread for dinner, together with “a tiny piece of sausage, or margarine, marmalade or cheese. So its quite clear that these blocks were never meant to serve food for the duration. As more and more exterminations of prisoners continued, there wasn't a need for such blocks, some were turned into bath houses and workshops.
