The morgue in the FKL of Birkenau

Several testimonies of women survivors of Birkenau's FKL (women's camp, section BI) mention the Morgue. That was the place where corpses of dead prisoners were stored until transferred by truck to the crematoria or burning pits. The bodies were carried to the morgue by the leichenkommando.

It is known that in Auschwitz I the morgue was at the basement of block 28.

I could not find any source describing the location of the morgue at Birkenau's FKL. I would appreciate any reference to this issue.
