Auschwitz, Poland

The main gate at Auschwitz, now officially the State Museum in Oświęcim (Auschwitz). It was through this gate that the working prisoners - the lucky ones - were marched each day on their way to and from work. The cynical German inscription reads 'Arbeit macht frei', which translates into 'work brings freedom'.
