Łódź - Muzeum Stacja Radegast
Bałuty | Aleja Pamięci Ofiar Litzmannstadt Getto
During World War II, the Radogoszcz station built originally between 1926 and 1937, was the main railway link of the Łódź Ghetto to the outside world, used predominantly for the Holocaust transports organized by German Nazis.
In 2004, the commemoration ceremonies on the 60th anniversary of the destruction of the Łódź Ghetto in 1944 and the departure of the last transport from Radegast spurred efforts to transform the former station into a Holocaust memorial. On August 28, 2005, a monument commemorating the Jewish victims who passed through the station was unveiled, based on design by Czesław Bielecki, and featuring the 140 metres Tunnel of the Deported. The renovated station building serves as one of the divisions of the Łódź Museum of Independence.
