This memorial is situated at the site where, between 1941 and 1945, thousands of Jews were forcibly transported to concentration camps and extermination sites across Europe. Visitors to Gleis 17 can view a striking installation that features a series of metal plaques embedded in the ground, each bearing the names of the deported individuals and the dates of their transport.

This site marks a significant moment in history, particularly during the early months of 1943 when many Jewish men were rounded up for deportation. The protests, which lasted for several days, saw these women demanding the return of their loved ones from the police headquarters, demonstrating remarkable determination and resilience against the brutal regime. The memorial also features an inscription detailing the events that took place at this location, providing context and educating visitors about the courage of those women who risked their safety to stand up for their families.
