Geocache Description:


Il 30 gennaio 1944 al binario 21 della Stazione Centrale di Milano più di 600 persone (di cui 40 bambini), cittadini italiani di religione ebraica di ogni condizione sociale, venivano caricate su vagoni bestiame. La successiva domenica 6 febbraio, ad Auschwitz Birkenau, circa 500 fra loro vennero selezionati per la morte e furono gasati e bruciati dopo poche ore dall'arrivo. Dal binario 21 era già partito un convoglio con quasi 250 deportati il 6 dicembre 1943 e ne sarebbero partiti altri fino a maggio 1944. Maggiori info qui: http://www.binario21.org/


The city of Milan was at the center of the Shoah in Italy. Many of the jewish deportees from Italy passed through Milan after the German occupation of Italy (september 1943).

In the Central Station, at ground level, track number 21, 600 deportees (40 children of all ages)

were taken in the cold winter morning of january 30, 1944 until they filled a complete train.

After seven terrible days on the train they arrived at their unknown destination: Auschwitz Birkenau. In a few hours 500 of them were killed with the gas and burned in the Krematoria.
