Kindertransport memorial in Gdańsk, Bronze war memorial near Gdańsk Główny Railway Station, Poland
The memorial presents five bronze children figures with suitcases, standing together as they prepare for their life-changing train journey.
Between May and August 1939, four Kindertransport trains departed from Gdańsk, carrying 124 Jewish children to safety in Britain.
The memorial forms part of a connected series of five sculptures across Europe that mark the rescue route of Jewish children during World War II.
The monument stands in a public space outside the main train station, making it accessible to visitors throughout the day without entry requirements.
Frank Meisler, who created this memorial in 2009, was among the children who escaped from Gdańsk on the final Kindertransport.
