Platform 17 Memorial

5 Brian Hagan - a month ago

August 2022 • Humbling memorial. Walking from plate to plate and reading the amount of jews and where they were sent is a lot to take in. About a 25-30 min train ride from the city center, but worth it if you appreciate Holocaust history.

Not worth the visit anymore, especially if it’s a detour as the place is dirty and full of wild plants growing in every crack and ridge. The place used to be nice but now it looks like any other abandoned station. Quite sad and hope to see it clean one day. Do not come as it is extremely boring. Children find it a bit better as they loved jumping around the rails.

Emotional day.
So beautiful.
The memorial path, wall and moat of all the rallys itself.... Going into the wild.

Simple but incredibly moving place. Reading the list of numbers and destinations is a very poignant experience.

This is by far one of the top 5 most impactful memorials I have ever been too. This and Topography of Terror need to be seen.
I appreciate the local government taking the time to preserve this location and allowing visitors to experience it.
Please, if you are planning to tour and see holocaust locations, you need to come here as part of your tour.

Interesting little place which remains within a working Sbahn station.

Good to go to with older kids as it's a reality and the tracks are real. It also doesn't appear to have become a holocaust hotspot as yet so you can go and spend some time mulling it over.

Probably the most underrated memorial I’ve been too. Take the time to go and experience the gravity of the space. You won’t regret it I promise!
