The first gassings of prisoners occur in Auschwitz I on Wednesday 3rd September 1941. The SS tests Zyklon B gas by killing 850 people, Mainly soviet POWs and people who were weak and ill. Testing takes place in a gas chamber in the cellar of Block 11 in Auschwitz I. The success of these experiments leads to the adoption of Zyklon B as the killing agent for Auschwitz II-Birkenau. ___________ However, those early gassing were experimental. Auschwitz did not become a routine gassing centre till well into 1942, after Treblinka and Belzec.
Block 11 at Auschwitz was notorious because it was the punishment block where prisoners were subjected to brutal and torturous methods of punishment. It housed the "standing cells," which were tiny, dark, and overcrowded cells where prisoners were forced to stand for days or weeks on end.
