An "Auschwitz hair room" is a room in the Auschwitz concentration camp that was used to collect and process the hair of prisoners. The hair was then used to make wigs and other products that were sold to civilians. One example of an Auschwitz hair room is the one that was located in Block 10 of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp. It is estimated that over one million people were killed at Auschwitz and that the hair of many of these victims was processed in the hair rooms.
The Auschwitz hair rooms are a significant historical site because they provide evidence of the Nazis' crimes against humanity. The hair rooms also serve as a reminder of the suffering that the prisoners of Auschwitz endured.
