Die Rampe, Holocaust memorial in Moritzstraße, Kassel, Germany.
Die Rampe features a historical freight wagon accompanied by sculptures of falling figures where only their gowns remain visible at the site.
The memorial stands at the former location of Henschelwerk factory, which employed 6,000 forced laborers during World War II for manufacturing vehicles and weapons.
Created by artist Eva Renée Nele Bode in 1985, the memorial reflects her childhood memories of witnessing forced labor workers transported in freight cars.
The memorial moved to its current location between a lecture hall and learning center at the University of Kassel in 2017 following renovation works.
After its initial installation, the memorial suffered fire damage from vandalism, requiring seven years of restoration before returning to public display.
