About film
Around 80 years ago, the gynecologist Carl Clauberg conducted medical experimentation on Jewish girls and women in Auschwitz. The results of those sadistic experiments were used in medicine across the globe. It is possible that German companies played a part in those experiments. Most of the survivors became infertile, and very few of them were later capable to give birth. The Untold Story of Block 10 introduces the audience to those who have survived. For the first time, the women decided to speak about all they went through, about their past, and about how they managed to rebuild their lives after the war. The film is based on witness testimonials and interviews.
