Memorial of the Gray Buses, Holocaust memorial in Ravensburg, Germany
The Memorial of the Gray Buses features concrete replicas of transport vehicles with inscriptions asking 'Where are you taking us?' in German text.
During the Nazi era from 1939 to 1945, gray buses transported over 70,000 people from medical facilities to locations where they were killed under Aktion T4.
This memorial, created by artists Horst Hoheisel and Andreas Knitz, stands as a testament to the systematic persecution of disabled individuals during World War II.
The permanent memorial section is located at the former Weißenau sanatorium, while a second concrete bus travels to different German cities throughout the year.
The memorial structure intentionally blocks the entrance gate of the former institution, emphasizing the physical interruption of regular activities at this historical site.
