Während unseres Urlaubs in der Nähe von Berlin wollte ich auch unbedingt das Mahnmal Gleis 17 am Bahnhof Grunewald sehen. Ich hatte erst vor kurzem davon gehört und es gleich als besonders wichtig notiert. Wer einmal in Berlin ist, sollte dort unbedingt hinfahren. Da die S-Bahn-Station Grunewald gleich in der Nähe ist, kann man den Ort gut erreichen.
Meinen Versprecher bitte ich zu entschuldigen. Ich meinte natürlich nicht evakuiert , sondern deportiert.

The Grunewald S-Bahn station is located on the western outskirts of Berlin. Between autumn 1941 and most probably spring 1942, deportation trains carrying Berlin Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in the east departed from this train station. The creation of the memorial was initiated by the Deutsche Bahn, the German national railway company, to commemorate the deportations undertaken by its predecessor, the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
The station opened on 1 August 1879 on the Wetzlarer Bahn from Berlin to Blankenheim and Wetzlar, the southwestern continuation of the Stadtbahn. It was originally named Hundekehle after a nearby lake and received its current name on 15 October 1884, when the former Grunewald station reopened under the name of Halensee. The entrance hall modelled on a castle gate was finished in 1899. Berlin-Grunewald was connected to the S-Bahn network on 11 June 1928.
Starting on 18 October 1941 the adjacent goods station until February 1945 was one of the major sites of deportation of the Berlin Jews. The trains left mainly for the ghettos of Litzmannstadt and Warsaw, and from 1942 directly for the Auschwitz and Theresienstadt concentration camps. On 18 October 1991 a monument was inaugurated at the ramp leading to the former freight yard. The Deutsche Bahn had a memorial established on 27 January 1998 at the historic track 17 (Gleis 17), where most of the deportation trains departed.

DER LETZTE ZUG Ganzer Film HD
Kriegsjahr 1943. Die Nazis wollen Berlin endgültig “judenfrei” machen. Über 70.000 Juden wurden schon aus der Hauptstadt deportiert. Im April rollt vom Gleis 17, im Bahnhof Grunewald, ein Zug mit 688 Juden – zusammengepfercht in Viehwaggons – Richtung Auschwitz. Ob jung und alt, Akademiker, Künstler oder Boxer, das spielt hier keine Rolle mehr. Die Reise in den Tod dauert sechs Tage. Ein Kampf gegen unerträgliche Hitze, Durst und Hunger beginnt. In ihrer großen Verzweiflung versuchen einige aus der rollenden Gefängnishölle auszubrechen, darunter auch das Ehepaar Henry und Lea Neumann (Gedeon Burkhard und Lale Yavas) und die junge Ruth Zilberman (Sibel Kekilli). Doch die Zeit drängt – und Auschwitz rückt immer näher…
