The famous entrance to Birkenau. This was where the trains brought people in. A single rail of the tracks holds a small collection of flowers and candles in remembrance of those who died.
A view of the tracks and the remnants of the destroyed barracks. A single cattle car serves as a reminder of what these tracks were used for.
Star and the train tracks with the entrace to Birkenau in the background.
One of the many guard towers along the fence. It started snowing while we were there, and you can see some of the flakes against the wood of the tower.
Inside one of the barracks. Someone has placed more flowers here in remembrance.
A plaque dedicating the camp as a memorial to all those who died. There was a long line of similar plaques, all bearing the same message in more languages than I could count.
An artistic shot of the main monument.
Star on a set of stone stairs.
The bottom step leading up to the monument held a long line of candles such as this one.
Another of the many candles. This one was placed in front of the remnants of one of the gas chambers.
