Under the platforms of Milano Centrale, in the space once used to shunt postal wagons, Jews and political prisoners were loaded into goods wagons between 1943 and 1945. The wagons were then hoisted to the tracks above and coupled to trains for Auschwitz-Birkenau, Mauthausen, and the transit camps at Fossoli and Bolzano. The first convoy left on 6 December 1943 with 169 people, of whom five came back; the second, on 30 January 1944, carried 605, of whom 22 survived — among them Liliana Segre, who was thirteen. It is the only deportation site in Europe to have survived intact. The route through it takes in the original wagons, a timeline from 1922 to 1945 and the Wall of Names; the building is the work of Morpurgo de Curtis Architetti Associati.
