Radegast Train Station

Hard to give a place that is so dark five stars. That this happened only a few decades before I was born really brings the horrors home. Understand, just facts showing the progress from ejecting a people from their homes to enslaving then killing them. One of those places you have to visit just to get some understanding of how this happens and happens again. How a people can be managed towards their own destruction.

Very well designed memorial. Sobering journey for any visitor. Start at the train platform then make your way through the Tunnel of the Deported.

A solem place to remember. Very good historical information, with a English version of the change to the affected people.

Radegast Train Station is the railroad hub or spur that was the center point of deportation to the extermination camp(s) or vernichtungslager. This was performed under the implementation of Operation Reinhard. Although people were transported at first to extermination camp Chełmno nad Nerem and later to Auschwitz. Nice little museum with a model of the city that is interactive.

Very interesting and poignant place. I actually had no idea it existed until a local guide at Jewish cemetery advised us of it! Well preserved piece of difficult history with very useful information about the Jews who were transported out of Lodz to concentration camps. Well worth the detour and visit.

Welcoming and knowledgeable guide, fantastic memorials with a huge range and depth of information. We visited on Wednesday so went in for free. Blown away by the model of the ghetto, and the accompanying audio was enlightening. Highly recommend!

Really makes you wonder what happens today and what happened back then.

It's an amazing and humcbling piece of history!
