At the end of the tour of Auschwitz I, the tour guide told us how to get to Auschwitz II - Birkenau, for those of us who wanted to continue. For me, Birkenau was the whole point of going -- to Auschwitz; to Poland; and you could even say to Europe itself on that trip. About half of the tour group didn't get on the free shuttle bus, which was just as well.
After a short bus ride, we arrived at the other side of this gate building -- the most infamous symbol of the Holocaust.
