Picture of the Bahnrampe, the gate of the Auschitz II,Birkenau extermination camp

A visitor sitting on the Birkenau railway tracks looks toward the main entrance of the camp. This position on the selection ramp allows understanding of the perspective of deportees arriving in freight cars. The entrance with the watchtower dominates the horizon.
