Mike Rosen > Birkenau (known as Auschwitz II)--Main entrance gate, the infamous "Death Gate," with guard tower
Mike Rosen > Krakow, Poland--Old Jewish Cemetery, portion of a memorial wall made of recovered pieces of gravestones shattered by the Nazis and used as pavement during the Polish occupation
Mike Rosen > Berlin--Jewish Museum, small portion of Menashe Kadishman's installation titled "Fallen Leaves." Over 10,000 open-mouthed iron faces cover the floor, in memory of the Holocaust as well as all victims of war and violence.
Mike Rosen > Berlin--Examples of small brass memorials set in streets around the city. These people were all from the same family. Plaque on lower left says: "Here lived Alice Kozower, born 1934, deported 1943 to Theresienstadt, murdered in Auschwitz."
Mike Rosen > Birkenau--Barracks with fireplace and chimney (providing a small amount of heat) and memorial placed by family of an inmate
Mike Rosen > Birkenau--Row of toilets in the camp latrine. Sanitary conditions were so horrible that Nazis were afraid to enter, so the latrine served as the heart of the black market and inmates' resistance movement.
Mike Rosen > Birkenau--Wooden barrack bunks; four or five prisoners slept on each bunk
Mike Rosen > Birkenau--On-site photo taken by the SS in 1944 showing the selection of who would live or die in process
Mike Rosen > Birkenau--Selection site, or dividing platform at which Nazi doctors determined who would die immediately and who might live a while longer. During a 52 day period in 1944, 438.000 Hungarian Jews were murdered here.
