The image displays the Gate of Death (Brama Śmierci) at the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp in Brzezinka, Poland, under an overcast sky. The central structure is a multi-story, red-brown brick gatehouse featuring a prominent arched passageway. Two sets of railway tracks extend from the foreground, pass through this archway, and continue into the distance. Above the arch, the gatehouse has two small, rectangular windows and is topped by a watchtower with multiple large, dark-paned windows and a dark, conical siren or speaker mounted on its roof. Adjoining the central gatehouse on both sides are single-story brick buildings with red-tiled roofs. The building to the left features a large, double-leaf, light-grey louvered door. The building to the right includes a multi-pane window and a brick chimney. The ground in the immediate foreground consists of gravel and crushed stone, with a small puddle visible on the right. A metal grate is embedded between the railway tracks in front of the archway. Through the arched passage, a metal chain-link fence is visible, beyond which lie green fields and distant structures. A single individual, dressed in a light-colored top and dark trousers, stands in the distance beyond this fence, appearing to hold a device, possibly a camera or phone, up to their eye, facing away from the viewer and towards the interior of the former camp.
