(German: Bauabschnitt IIc –  construction segment 2, sector c)

One of the nine camps built by the Germans in Birkenau, used from May 1944 as a transit camp for Jewish women from Hungary. The women were not marked with camp numbers and waited for transport to other German concentration camps. They suffered from hunger (durchfall, muselmann) and were at risk of selections similarly to the registered prisoners. In October, the camp was liquidated and the prisoners incorporated into the population of the women’s camp.
