Auswandererdenkmal, Bronze sculpture at Willy-Brandt-Platz in Bremerhaven, Germany.
The Auswandererdenkmal features a family of four cast in bronze, with a father raising his left hand while holding his son's hand.
Installed on July 5, 1986, the monument commemorates millions of Europeans who departed from Bremerhaven's port to start new lives overseas.
The bronze figures capture a father, mother, son, and daughter in a moment of departure, representing the complex emotions of emigration.
Located at Seebäderkaje near New Harbor, the sculpture stands on a pink granite pedestal with inscriptions and bronze donor plaques.
The German-American Memorial Association raised 200,000 dollars through donations to create this monument at Modern Art Foundry in New York.
