Mahnmal Friedrichstraße

The memorial consists of two groups of people walking in opposite directions. Five children's figures with a gray-brown patina represent all those who were not rescued, but deported and murdered.Two children, in a rich reddish-brown color, symbolize the rescued girls and boys from the “Kindertransporte”.On the sides of the groups of children standing on the rectangular stand area, realistically formulated pieces of rail track run on the lower plinth area.An explanatory board is attached to the front of the base, which is framed with granite slabs. Stacks of suitcases and pieces of luggage between the survivors and those deported to the extermination underline the attempt at a realistic representation of what the sculpture is based on
