Birkenau camp , also known as "Auschwitz
II". The ramp or railroad platform where SS physicians carried out
selections. Immediately after disembarking from the trains, the prisoners
were made to line up in two columns: women and children in one, and men in
the other. Next, the physicians separated the strong and healthy people from
the elderly, the sick, pregnant women, and children. Those regarded as fit
for labor were placed in the camp. The others, usually 70-75% of each
transport, were sent to their deaths in the gas chambers.
