    "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's…read moreindifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference. Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies. To be in the window and watch people being sent to concentration camps or being attacked in the street and do nothing, that's being dead." -- Elie Wiesel The Memoriale della Shoah is a Holocaust memorial at the Milano Centrale railway station. It remembers the Jewish men, women and children who were taken to a secret underground platform, Platform 21/ Binario 21, who were crowded into freight cars and who were deported on Holocaust trains to extermination camps. Twenty trains carried 1,200 Jewish victims who left Milan in this fashion to be murdered, predominantly at Auschwitz. Only a handful survived. INDIFFERENZA It was hidden for many years. Since so few survived the Holocaust, the site remained lost to history for many years. When it was later discovered, a push was made to made this a memorial to the crimes committed against so many innocent lives tragically stolen. Visit to remember and pray for those murdered. May it never happen again. Never forget. #2600

    This is not a museum, but a Shoah memorial located on a side and underneath the Grand Central train…read morestation of Milan. As soon as you get in there is a huge wall with the word "indifferenza", which means indifference. In this place lots of Jews where sent to the concentration and extermination camps, with the indifference of Milan's population. There are tracks, and freight trains with the lift that move them up when loaded and ready to leave. At the end of a touchy walk between words, memories, images and videos there is a wall of names, the name of the people sent away. I highly recommend the visit of this place. Just built, is a touchy, emotional experience and a part of recent history of Milan and its people.
