The Gate of Infinty, War memorial at Bubny Station in Prague, Czech Republic.
The Gate of Infinity is a modern memorial standing in front of Bubny Station in Prague, composed of abstract geometric forms. This structure was unveiled in 2015 and marks the location where thousands of people were forced onto trains during Nazi deportations.
The memorial was erected in 2015 to commemorate the deportations that occurred from this station during World War II. It forms part of Prague's efforts to document and honor the history of the Holocaust within the city.
The name 'Gate of Infinity' references the countless lives affected by the deportations at this station. The geometric design creates a visual link between the observer and the historical events that took place here.
The memorial stands directly in front of the station and is easy to reach on foot, especially if you arrive by public transport. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can clearly see the geometric forms and how they interact with the surrounding area.
The artwork was designed by artist Aleš Veselý and deliberately frames the railway tracks, integrating the history directly into the daily scene of the modern city. This approach blends historical remembrance with the present surroundings, creating a direct connection between past and present.
