The Railroad to "Gate of Death" - Auschwitz II-Birkenau
“What mortal knew the way their fate line would run?”
― Guy Gavriel Kay
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Birkenau was created in 1941 as a satellite of the Auschwitz camp. The village of Brzezinka was evacuated for this purpose, and a handful of farm buildings were woven into the structure of the camp. This was even the case with the main gas chambers, which were located at the northern end of the site, where the railway tracks meet their end. Transits of prisoners were brought here from across Europe, and it was here that the 'Final Solution' was conducted at its most relentless level.
