Komski Drawings - Horse Stable: A Barracks for Men

More Jan Komski Drawings

Originally designed for fifty-two horses, these wooden stables were used extensively in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Each provided the living space for over a thousand prisoners.

More than two hundred of these barracks were built.

In typical, thorough fashion, they were constructed complete with the rings for tying the horses attached to the walls.
