The main gate to Aushwitz Concentration Camp. The sign reads "ARBEIT MACH FREI", which translates to "Work makes free", although it probably means "Work for freedom".

I chose this picture because it is the front gate to Auschwitz and it directly links to "Out-With" in the book and gives a better idea of what the camp looked like.
I think a visual aid helps to understand what the camp actually looked like, since in the book it just refers to it as hundreds of tiny huts inside a giant fence with what looked like telephone poles.

Excellent choice of picture-directly related to the central problem of the novel. Although your response was appropriate, at this level you need to explain your ideas more fully. Assignment states a two paragraph response for each picture, map, journal etc. You had much extra time for this novel study.
