Binario 21
The Milan Shoah Memorial stands in an area of the Central Station located below the ordinary railway tracks and originally used for loading and unloading postal wagons. Between 1943 and 1945, hundreds of deportees - Jews and political opponents - left from this place and were forcibly loaded onto goods wagons/ cattle trucks. These, once filled, were lifted one at a time by a wagon-lift on platform 21, just outside the large canopy of the passenger station, to form convoys bound for concentration and extermination camps across the border, or to the collection and sorting camps scattered across Italy. Of all the places in Europe that were the scene of deportations, today the Memorial is the only one that has remained intact from what it was originally. Visit the site
