The Gleis 17 Memorial in Berlin is a poignant tribute to the Jews deported from Berlin during the Holocaust. Located at the Grunewald train station, it marks the spot where 186 deportation trains departed between 1941 and 1945, transporting over 50,000 Jewish Berliners to ghettos and extermination camps like Auschwitz and Theresienstadt.
Along the tracks are plaques documenting the deportations.
The trees at the ends of the railway remind us that deportations won't happen again.
The Gleis 17 Memorial was officially opened on January 27, 1998.
