barracks or rooms
The word appelplatz is not a word in English. In German, it is used for 'roll call' or the square or area of the death camps where roll call was taken twice a day. At the appelplatz, prisoners were required to stand in line and selections were made for who would be sent to die that day and who could return to their barracks.
In concentration camps roll-call on the Appelplatz took place at least twice a day and was often deliberately prolonged in order to add to the prisoners' miseries.
