No train will ever leave again from this platform in Berlin, for a good reason. It was from this station, also on the autumn day, that the first train deporting Jews from Berlin left with over a thousand people on board, headed to a ghetto in occupied Poland only 85 years ago. And it wasn't the only one. These memorial plagues are a reminder of each of the train departures that the Nazi regime carried, forcing over 10,000 people from here to ghettos and concentration camps, where most were murdered. Today, the plants growing on the tracks are left untouched. A symbol that will happen on platform 17 is in the past and should never repeat.
