Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Das Denkmal "Züge in das Leben - Züge in den Tod: 1938-1939" auf dem Dorothea-Schlegel-Platz am Bahnhof Friedrichstraße in Berlin-Mitte. Das Denkmal erinnert gleichzeitig an die Kindertransporte, mit denen 10.000 jüdische Kinder 1938/1939 per Eisenbahn von Berlin aus nach England ausreisen konnten, und an die jüdischen Kinder, die später in die Vernichtungslager deportiert wurden. Zwei Kinder stehen für die Geretteten, fünf Kinder für die Ermordeten. Die Skulptur wurde von dem israelischen Künstler Frank Meisler geschaffen, der selbst zu den Geretteten gehörte. Ein korrespondierendes Denkmal von Meisler steht an der Liverpool Street Station in London. Das Denkmal in Berlin wurde im November 2008 aufgestellt.
English: The memorial "Trains to Life - Trains to death: 1938-1939" on the Dorothea-Schlegel-Platz at the Friedrichstraße Railway Station in Berlin-Mitte. It remembers both the facts that 10.000 Jewish children were able to leave Berlin for England per railway before the start of WWII and that many other Jewish children were later deported to the extermination camps, also per railway. Two children stand for those saved, five children for those murdered. The sculpture was created by Israeli sculptor Frank Meisler, who was among those saved. A corresponding memorial is located at Liverpool Street Station in London. The memorial in Berlin was dedicated in November 2008. |
