It pays tribute to the memory of some 10,000 former Frankfurt residents, who were from here deported by train to concentration camps, where they were systematically murdered. The cellars of the former Großmarkthalle, which are now part of the memorial site, were used by the Gestapo from 1941 to 1945 as an assembly centre for Jews prior to their deportation.
One section of this place of remembrance, situated along the former railway embankment, is publically accessible (Philipp-Holzmann-Weg). The previously mentioned vaulted cellars are located on the grounds of the ECB and may therefore only be visited within the framework of a guided tour, which may be booked through the Jewish Museum.
