From 400 EUR / 444 USD
The gate at Auschwitz I camp.
Inscription “Arbeit macht frei” (Ger. work makes you free) – a paraphrase of a quote from the Gospel of John: “… the truth will set you free”.
Nazi propaganda used that slogan in the 30’s in programs to combat unemployment.
Later, it was used at the entrance gates to several Nazi concentration camps (next to Auschwitz and Dachau also in the Gross-Rosen).
Gate of Death at Auschwitz II-Birkenau.
It served as the main guardhouse and vantage point of the camp.
On the tower placed strong reflectors, which were illuminated at night columns of prisoners going to the gas chambers. Doomed Jews were bringing by railway transports in freight wagons, although some transports from Western Europe were arriving to the camp in normal passenger wagons.
The number of deaths reached nearly 1.1 million people, including 960 thousand of Jews, or nearly 90%.
