Zug der Erinnerung

"The exhibition, Zug der Erinnerung (i.e. train of remembrance), a project aimed at preserving the memory of children deported during the Third Reich, displays letters, photos and other documentation of and about these children. More than 12,000 German boys and girls were deported by the National Socialists, and in almost all cases were killed. As many as 1.5 million children and adolescents were transported from the occupied countries of Europe.

...

The train consists of a steam engine and two railcars, and since November 2007 has been travelling to the train stations in Germany from which children were deported. The train will make its last stop at the Auschwitz Memorial in May, 2008."
