Umschlagplatz Monument, which resembles a railroad freight car

From this site, trains with Jewish people from the Warsaw Ghetto departed for the Extermination Camp in Treblinka. The Monument is a work of Hanna Szmalenberg and Wladyslaw Klamerus, with the inscription reading: "Between the years 1940 and 1943, on this path of suffering and death, more than 300.000 Jews from the Ghetto established in Warsaw passed to Nazi Extermination Camps". There are 448 names, from Abel to Zanna, inscribed on the wall, as a commemorative symbol of Warsaw Jews. On the lateral side, there is a verse from the Book of Job in Polish, Hebrew and Yiddish, reading: "O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place."
