This gate leads to the camps as well as the road leading to the Gas Chambers.

Running parallel to the train platform, down this road prisoners walked on their way to their deaths. The Gas Chambers are located behind the red brick building in the distance near the tree line. It took maybe 20 minutes to make the walk from the trains to the Gas Chambers.

Ruins of Gas Chamber II

A Memorial set up at the ponds located adjacent to the Gas Chambers. These ponds were used for the disposal of human remains after they left the crematoriums. To this day, the water remains grey.

Down these steps walked a million and a half people who never saw daylight again. These steps lead to the ‘changing room’ where victims were forced to get undressed before heading into the ‘showers’.

Beneath the rubble in this depression was Gas Chamber II.

A personal memorial left on the ruins.

The International Memorial

“Never Again”
