The Death Gate of the Auschwitz II - Birkenau Camp - Oswiecim - Poland.tif
The main entrance into Birkenau, also known as the Auschwitz II concentration camp. Beginning around the middle of May 1944, freight trains that were 40 to 50 cars long rolled through this gate, day and night, bringing thousands of Hungarian Jews to be gassed at the four Birkenau gas chambers. The prisoners called it the “Gate of Death.”
