In 1942 alone, approximately 23,000 Jews were deported from Berlin. Between 1942 and 1945, more than 100 trains left Berlin for the Terezin camp. Sixty-one deportation trains containing the majority of Berlin’s Jews left from the Grunewald train station to Auschwitz and other camps. After 1942, freight cars were used for the deportations, and the Jewish community was forced to pay the costs.
