Inside the Gate of Hell, Auschwitz II/Birkineau
Looking towards the gate house entrance from immediately inside the camp. The ramp is to the left in this view. Slightly further in, also on the left is what I call the Path to Oblivion. (See photo). Once the selection process was completed, those chosen for death were made to march towards their fate in the gas chambers.
There were a lot of tour groups the day I visited. That's the reason there are so many people present in this shot.
