Two black and white images side by side. On the left, a figure stands with their back to the camera next to a partially broken sign which has been propped up on something. The figure has their arms slightly raised. A pile of rubble and some blocky buildings stand in the background. On the right, the same figure walks away from the camera, hands in pockets. The sign is flat on the ground. The sign displays the same sentence in various languages: "You are standing on the grounds of the former torture chamber of the Gestapo."
