You take an above-ground train and get off at a working station, Gruenweld, Berlin. You walk along a cobbled corridor till you see the sign in the second photo. Platform 17.
All through the war, Jews were sent to concentration camps right from Berlin. The memorial to not forgetting is bone-chilling. You have to think about why the memorial is there and what this exact location meant to the hundreds who stood there, some only 5 months before final German surrender. I’ll leave you with that. The metal tiles have the date, number of Jews and their destinations soldered in metal for us to think about.
As you walk around Berlin, especially in the Mitte and old Jewish sections of town, there are brass plaques embedded in the sidewalk with information about a particular individual who was deported during the collective savagery known as the Holocaust.
