Part of the exhibition about mass killing is located in blocks 4 and 5.

One of most horrifying part of this exhibition is hair of women murdered in Birkenau. In the next building there are shoes and other personal belongings seized from people brought to death.
There’s also part of exhibition showing everyday camp reality – treatment of people imprisoned in Auschwitz from the moment of arrival. In one of corridors there are enlarged photographs of prisoners taken during the registration procedure.
Block nr 11 was a camp jail. In it’s basement there are 28 cells, some of which were used as starvation cells in a period of time. One of rooms in the first floor is a place where Gestapo summary court sentenced innocent people to death. Gestapo victims were shot by the Death Wall. It’s reconstruction is in the yard between block 10 and 11.
