my memorial project is based on the death trains for
many prisoners during the holocaust, the train car was the
last time that they would be outside of a concentration
camp. They knew that this train was going to lead
them to the place that they would most likely die.
Also, the conditions on the train were just the beginning
of the torture to come.
The trains are crowded and dirty prisoners were starved and
forced to pee in buckets.
Some prisoners died before they reached the camp at the
end of the holocaust and an attempt to fight the
liberation of concentration camps from opposing armies.
The nazis put prisoners on these trains where diseases spread
and money died right before the chance of freedom since
I am not the best artist, I have added these
pictures to inspire the movement.
Overall it would be a replica of a train car
from the holocaust on the door of the car, a
video screen would play background information to inform visitors what
the death trains were and the conditions prisoners were forced
to encounter and the train was would be the names
of holocaust victims.
People could walk into the train cars where they were,
would be able to see how small the car was
for how many people were kept inside the car would
be set up just like the one from the holocaust.
When researching holocaust memorials, I did not find any that
represented the death trains and felt it was of major
importance in four perfect pebbles.
The chapter on the family's time on the death train
was very gruesome and was hard to imagine how horrible
those train rides must have been for every prisoner.
Although it is a simple design, I felt it can
make an impact on those who may not know the
harsh details of the holocaust while remembering all the innocent
lives lost on those train rides.
