This three-hundred and sixty degree view begins just inside the main gate at Auschwitz I. It shows the famous entrance that reads Arbeit macht frei ["Work makes you free"]. Thousands of prisoners were marched through the gate daily on their way to work assignments, which often lasted 10 hours. From this location one can see administration buildings and the site where the camp orchestra performed as prisoners marched to and from work outside the camp.
