Kindertransport memorial, Bronze sculpture at Dammtor railway station, Hamburg, Germany.
The Kindertransport memorial is a bronze sculpture at Dammtor station that shows the moment of separation. The figures depict children and adults parting before departure by train.
The memorial commemorates transports between 1938 and 1939 when about 1,000 children from Hamburg were brought to safety in Britain. These rescue operations allowed many Jewish children to escape the war.
The memorial captures moments of farewell and hope that shaped many people during this period. The figures embody the feelings of children and families who had to make this difficult choice.
The memorial is located directly at the station and is accessible year-round. The site is designed to be barrier-free, and visitors can reach it easily on foot.
Artist Frank Meisler himself experienced the Kindertransport as a child, giving the memorial personal depth. His direct experience shapes every detail of the work.
