Entrance to Auschwitz II/Birkenau.
 Tracks that led through the camp to the gas chambers.
 One of the housing units.  They were modeled after a horse barn.  Each pallet slept roughly 8 people.  When I entered this building, I experienced a very dark and oppressive feeling.
 Names and dates were etched into the walls and on some wooden posts.
Bombed out remains of the gas chambers.  Hitler had the chambers bombed to try to hide what they had been doing.
Entrance to Auschwitz.  The gate says Arbeit Macht Frei, work sets you free.
