Enter the gates
The gate of Auschwitz was a giant gate made of steel. On top of the gate letters out of steel say "Arbeit macht frei" which means "work reliefs" in English. This was a reference to the solution the Nazis had for the "problem with the german jews", which was called "death by work".

Sent away on train on a one way trip to hell
People who were sent to Auschwitz mostly never saw the outer world again. Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp in Germany and 1,1 million people died there. Once a jew got caught, they were sent to Auschwitz or other concentration camps by trains which were overcrowded.
