Deutsche Reichsbahn - The German Reich’s Railways, 2 World War original freight cars used to transport Jews from ghettos to concentration and death camps. Radegast Bahnhof (Radegast Station) is the old railway siding that was turned into Litzmannstadt ghetto station (name of the city was changed to Litzmannstadt). The station was the destination of transports of Jews from Poland and Germany and then, after couple of years was the place from where the Jews were taken to the death camps. Firstly to Kulmhof (Chelmno nad Nerem) then to Auschwitz Birkenau (Oświęcim Brzezinka). The siding and the ghetto survived the war, and the original look of the station was reconstructed due to the 60 anniversary of liquidation of the Litzmannstadt ghetto.
