Guided Story
Take a moment to look around. This quiet street hides a painful past. Right here, where you stand, was once a bustling center of Jewish life. During World War II, thousands of Jewish citizens were gathered here before being deported to an uncertain fate. Imagine the farewells, the fear, as they boarded the trucks. Behind you, towards the church, was once a place of refuge that turned into a trap. The memorial, with its striking flame wall, stands as a testament to those stories. Pause for a moment, read the inscription, and let the silence speak to you.
