Guided Story
Take a moment to look around you and notice the tracks that stretch out silently. Right here, by the BücherboXX, you're standing at a junction of history and remembrance. This converted phone booth, now a public bookcase, represents a new chapter and a place of reflection. Imagine the trains that once departed from here, carrying people into uncertainty. Now, you can pause, pick up a book, and let the stories guide you through time. Just behind you is the Track 17 Memorial, a poignant reminder of the Jewish deportations from Berlin. Allow yourself to reflect and connect with the past in this quiet space of remembrance.
