The train of horror

Every year in correspondence of the Memorial Day, remembering the Shoah, one carriage of the train that from 1943 to 1945 transferred the Jews to the concentration camps is exposed in the main square in Verona. It can be visited and the names of some of the deported people are listed outside. School children are brought there and they are told what the train represents. Lest we forget

That is so important as many who survived are now aging and leaving this world. It is especially important now since anti-Semitism is rearing its ugly head all over the world again. May we continue to remember and never let this happen again.

The stories of this train haunt me.

Everyone needs to know just how easily humankind can descend to such horrific acts en masse. I pray to God that such a thing never ever happens again. Well done Caterina for posting this today.

[Jane Pittenger]

Chilling for sure. I wish I believed it could neveR happen again

[Jacqueline]

Wow glad I clicked to read the story that goes with this haunting photo

It was certainly the right choice to make that picture at night in order to better convey the terrible sadness of the subject.

It's so important that we don't forget! But what power does this picture have compared to the glorification of war in movies?

[Phil Howcroft]

the light is fabulous caterina, there's a lot of history and sadness associated with that carriage / wagon

[Margo]

So good they are teaching the school children the truth

[Nick]

On my goodness, so much history and tragedy. A very powerful image.

[Tom]

A very sobering mindful image of the horrors of that past time which
is also our present time
