“I dearly long to experience
cutting the ribbon at the opening of a memorial at this place.”

Welcome to the website of the
initiative to establish a memorial place at Alter Leipziger Bahnhof.
At this website you can find informations about our efforts to create a memorial, learning and meeting place at the former train station that the Nazis used for the deportation of Jewish people from Dresden. If you share our mission, think about supporting us.
About us
We are a group of people and organisations who work together since 2022 to establish a memorial and meeting place at the historic site of the deportation of Jews from Dresden during the Nazi era.
The historical place
The train station called “Leipziger Bahnhof” in Dresden was the point of departure for the deportation of Jews from Dresden and eastern Saxony and at the same time an important transportation hub for the Nazi extermination economy.

Our vision
It is our goal to achive a memorial and meeting place at the now ruined train station that combines different types of use. For us, commemorating the past in a dignified manner always means learning from history today.
