Berlin-Grunewald is a railway station in the upper class Grunewald district of Berlin.
In the Second World War, the station was the principal location for deporting Berlin Jews to the East during The Holocaust.
Starting on 18 October 1941 until February 1945, the adjacent goods station was one of the major sites of deportation of Jews from Berlin.
A total of 35 trains transporting 17,000 Jews departed from Platform 17 (German: Gleis 17) directly to Auschwitz.
The memorial includes silhouettes etched into a concrete wall, designed by Polish artist Karol Broniatowski.
