The Cattle Car - Memorial to the Deportees, Holocaust memorial at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel.
The memorial features an authentic German railway cattle car positioned on railroad tracks extending over a cliff near Jerusalem mountains.
This freight car was obtained from Polish authorities and represents vehicles used to transport millions of Jews to extermination camps during World War II.
The memorial stands as a central element in Yad Vashem's educational mission to preserve and communicate the experiences of Holocaust victims.
Visitors can observe the cattle car from multiple angles, gaining perspective on the confined spaces where up to 150 people were transported without basic necessities.
The positioning of the car, facing Jerusalem's hills, creates a connection between the darkness of deportation and the establishment of Israel.
