A piece of track behind the buffer stop of track 16 in a train station. With a huge block of stone broken apart by a giant nail. In front of the monument there is a plaque.
The text on the plaque in Italian and English. From this platform, in sealed train cars, hundreds of jewish men, women, elderly people, and children left for the gas chambers or crematoriums in Auschwitz. A monument will not bring back their innocent lives, but it will help us to not forget, in hopes that this will never happen again.
The view besides the nail along the track and the platform into the distance.
