Starting on October 18, 1941 until February 1945 was one of
the major sites of deportation of the Berlin Jews. The trains left mainly for
the ghettos of Litzmannstadt and Warsaw, and from 1942 directly for the
Auschwitz and Theresienstadt concentration camps. On October 18, 1991 a
monument was inaugurated at the ramp leading to the former freight yard. The
memorial was established on
January 27, 1998 at the historic track 17 ("Gleis 17"), where most of
the deportation trains departed.
If you taking the S7 to Potsdam - it is worth stopping at
Grunewald station to visit the memorial.
