The main gate at Auschwitz I. Whilst the majority of the killing was done about a mile away at the much larger Auschwitz II camp, this is probably the most "iconic" symbol of Nazi death camps.
Also, the top floor of that building in the picture was used as a brothel. Several non-Jewish women prisoners were picked out to work in it and favoured non-Jewish prisoners (cooks, barbers) were given tokens to use as payment in there by the SS.
