Pictures from Auschwitz Concentration Camp





The first picture is one of the train entrances into Auschwitz II.  The second is one of the sleeping conditions.  Each bed had three levels, each bed slept around 7-8 people- it is a regular single bed.  The third picture is the main gas chamber in Auschwitz I.  The fourth is a picture of one of the borders.  Finally, the fifth is the main gate to the camp.  The phrase on it means "Work is freedom".  It is considered the cruelest saying because at Auschwitz work was not freedom, death was.
