 The translation of the sign above the gates to the infamous Nazi concentration camp reads, Works sets you free. I only took two photo's at Auschwitz, it just didn't feel right to me to be takng photos of something with such a terrible place in history to take home as souveniers to show friends and family, although that didn't stop the majority of peaople taking photos with themselves smiling in front of the cell blocks and gas chambers.

This seems quite fitting - it's a bit too dark, which is good. There's that arm up letting people in - but can they leave? An interesting shot.
