The memorial at left
is easily overlooked. Several hundred German women who were married to Jewish men marched on the railway station from which their husbands were to be deported to the camps. Although in this one instance Hitler relented and released the men, a sculpture some distance away of a disinterested figure sitting on a bench represents the general apathy of the German people to what was going on around them. |

After the bombing of Berlin this is all that remained of the largest railroad station in Europe. |
