The Wannsee Conference lays out the roles of every element of government to carry out the extermination of European Jews in early 1942. From then forward Jews, by this time having been forced into concentration camps or Ghettos, began being deported. In Berlin, Jews, which numbered over 100,000, were now being sent to either Auschwitz or Treblinka. A most chilling visit was to track 17 at Berlin's Grunevald Station where deportations took place once or twice a day. The picture shows the one of hundreds of plaques indicating the number of Jews deported on each transport. Nearly are were murdered. Here in the first plaque it says 1251 Jews were sent from Berlin to Lodz, Poland on October 18, 1941.
