.... to them to behave, and trying to no avail to shield them from this place. Everyone is thirsty, hungry and tired, but most of all, afraid.

Upon walking a short distance, you are confronted by a large iron gate, with the words “Arbeit macht frei” or “Work makes you free” on it.

.... were four main factors that pressed the great powers towards this explosive war. (Clock Magazine 1915 Aug. 17)” Difficult as it may sound, (and it is) this is my argument.
