Anti-Revisionist French chemist Jean-Claude Pressac (1944-2003), who was the first person to attempt
to document how the Auschwitz Death Factory actually operated, wrote in his 1989 book
AUSCHWITZ:
Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers
that in June 1943 whilst the Nazis were finalising the
new four main gas chamber buildings at Auschwitz-Birkenau, designs for a "Prison Hospital
and
Quarantine Section" for 16,596 people were approved in Berlin. This huge hospital was
started,
but never completed by the Nazis at Death Factory Auschwitz-Birkenau
The arrows on the above photos indicate the four new crematorium (gas chambers) completed in 1943. The area marked in yellow, is the part of the Birkenau camp
which was called "Mexico" and it was within this area the huge
"Prison Hospital
and Quarantine Section" the Nazis started, but never completed building.

The above plans show that the new section was to be a fully-equipped medical
section.
X-ray machinery was to be installed in two buildings, the section was
also to have surgeries and
operating rooms, a medical supply centre, quarters
for thousands of seriously ill internees,
an extensive quarantine area, laundry
facilities, and its own delousing facilities.
