Jews from Subcarpathian Rus, then part of Hungary, await selection on the ramp at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Selection consisted of being selected for death straight away in the gas chambers or being sent as a forced slave labourer. The chimneys in the background belong to Crematoria II and III on the left and right respectively, whose structures house subterranean undressing and gassing rooms.
