Radegast Station

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:19:01

North of the Jewish Cemetery was the main deportation centre for Jews sent to the death camps at Chełmno and Auschwitz-Birkenau. The station, about 3km northeast of Bałucki Rynek, has been preserved and now holds a moving memorial to those lost in the Holocaust. Three original Deutsche Reichsbahn cattle cars used for the deportations stand silently next to the now-defunct station, and original deportation lists (some headed with 'Zur Arbeit' – 'to work') line a long concrete tunnel nearby.
