My friends and I went to visit the memorial at the Grunewald rail station. Gleis 17 was the track used to transport most of Berlin's Jews to various destinations in the east after 1941. The station is located outside of the city center and came into use to hide the mass deportations from the rest of the populations.
Rough translation: "In remembrance of the 1941 - 1945 deportations by train to the death camps."
Along the platform were plaques with the date, number of people, and destination of each transport out of the Grunewald station between 1941 and 1945.
