Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Wooden barracks for prisoners at the BIIa sector of the camp.

The sector was established in August 1943. It held prisoners undergoing entry quarantine, which usually lasted three to four weeks.

At first, it held more than 7,000 prisoners, but in the spring of 1944 there were times when this figure fell below one thousand.
