The Lost Train, Holocaust train memorial site in Tröbitz, Germany.

The memorial stands next to the church in Tröbitz, marking the location where Soviet forces discovered 2,500 Jewish prisoners in railway cars in 1945.

The train contained Jewish prisoners from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp who were halted at the Black Elster river due to a destroyed railway bridge.

A mass grave containing 160 victims lies adjacent to the memorial, serving as a testament to the human cost of the Holocaust transportation system.

The memorial site features an exhibition detailing the events of April 1945, when prisoners were abandoned by guards as Allied forces approached.

This transport carried exclusively Jewish prisoners who possessed foreign passports, with German Jews specifically listed as stateless under their nationality.
