Many journeys began in these cattle cars. Journeys with a destination unknown to the passengers. This, right here, is The Cattle Car – Memorial to the Deportees.

It was used by the Nazis to transport Jews to concentration and extermination camps across Europe. The car was later given to Yad Vashem by Polish authorities.
