Gate & Watchtower | Auschwitz-Birkenau | Snugug Photography

The image is a black and white photograph of a concentration camp. In the foreground, there is a gravel path leading up to a large wooden gate. The gate is made of thick wooden beams and is flanked by two tall, wooden watchtowers. The watchtowers are connected by a barbed wire fence, which runs the length of the path. The fence is topped with a series of barbed wire strands, which are designed to prevent people from escaping. The path leads into a vast, open area, which is covered in grass. The grass is overgrown in places and there are a few trees in the background. The sky is overcast with clouds. The image is a powerful reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust. — Gate & Watchtower

Most of the barracks that housed prisoners at Birkenau were made of wood. Beyond this gate are rows and rows of lone standing chimneys, all that survive of those wooden barracks.
