Inscription

Zum Gedenken
an 3155 jüdische Männer, die in den Tagen
nach der Pogromnacht vom 9. zum 10.
November 1938 vom Südbahnhof aus in die
Konzentrationslager Buchenwald und
Dachau verschleppt wurden. Die Lagerhaft
kostete viele von ihnen das Leben. Die
Deportationen verbreiteten Angst und
Schrecken und dienten der Vertreibung aus
Deutschland. Drei Jahre später begann der
nationalsozialistische Massenmord an den
Juden, die in Deutschland und in den von der
Wehrmacht besetzten Ländern lebten.

Translation: In memory of 3,155 Jewish men who were deported from the Southern Railway Station to the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps in the days after the pogrom night of November 9th/10th, 1938. The detention cost many of them their lives. The deportations spread fear and terror and served to expel them from Germany. Three years later, the National Socialist mass murder of Jews living in Germany and in the countries occupied by the Wehrmacht began.
