The panels are set up outdoors, showing a contrast between past events and the present scene. In the background, a group of visitors walks near a freight train car on the railway tracks.

The new selection platform. This is where SS doctors made the selection of arriving Jews, sentencing most of them to be murdered in gas chambers.
