The Platform 17 Memorial is dedictated to the 50,000 Jews deported from Berlin during the Holocaust.
Located beside the Berlin Grunewald S-Bahn station (S3, S5, S7), the main part of the memorial site consists of 186 cast iron plates arranged in chronological order and set in the edge of the former platform on each side of the tracks. Each plate is enscribed with the departure date of a transport train, the number of deportees, the point of departure in Berlin and the destination.
The memorial was inaugurated on 27 January 1998 to a design by the team of architects Hirsch, Lorch and Wandel in Saarbrücken and Frankfurt am Main.
The concrete memorial wall with the shapes of deportees cut out of the concrete was created by Karol Broniatowski.
I could not find any information ob the white painted figures or the hanging birds. Please put in the comments if you have any information about these works.
