Block 10
Synopsis
In early 1943, at the Auschwitz main camp, hundreds of Jewish women are confined in cramped quarters in BLOCK 10, which is separated from the rest of the camp grounds. Nazi doctors subject them to the most painful methods of forced sterilization. Prisoner doctors are forced to collaborate. The Jewish gynecologist Dr. Maximilian Samuel is blackmailed with the gassing of his 20-year-old daughter if he refuses to participate in the brutal experiments. Caught in this moral dilemma, he seeks his own path.
