An unusual and unexpected question Marcus and Owen, it must have some special significance that I am unaware of.
In fact I didn't, but the area isn't conducive with birds anyway. There are no trees.
There is open farmland around Birkenau with farmers working. I guess there are birds around and about.

Everyone is familiar with that infamous building that is the main gate at Birkenau where the trains pass under to unload at the platform inside the camp.
On a desk facing the siding there is a large photo of the unloading of one of the trains of their human cargo.
One can look down at the photo and then raise their eyes to look at the empty platform.
It is awsome.
