Behind the lens – work makes free

Above the gate to the Auschwitz concentration camp are the words “Work Makes Free.” This is a famous scene from World War II and the Holocaust. Strangely, time has made the scene somewhat less visible as the trees have grown up and the gate no longer stands as stark against the sky as in my memory of photos I have seen.
