Anhalter Bahnhof / remains

Architect: Franz Heinrich Schwechten, 1870s, in an historicist style of Roman Classical influence. The WW2-damaged station was demolished in 1960 except for this part. A notice records that from 1942 to 1945, Berlin's older Jewish citizens were deported — in clear public view — from this terminus, most of those surviving the trip eventually dying at Auschwitz. Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany.
