 BERLIN (AP) - Thousands of Berlin residents waited in line for up to four hours on Sunday to see an exhibit pulled on a train commemorating Jewish children sent by the Nazis to death camps.
The "Train of Commemoration" — or "Zug der Errinerung" in German — has been winding its way across the nation since November, carrying photos and archive materials that trace the fate of individual children who were deported from across the country during World War II.
A grass-roots group of German citizens said it organized the exhibit because national railway operator Deutsche Bahn had not done enough to address the issue despite its role as the successor of the Reichsbahn, the railway that the Nazis used to for the deportations.
