Monument 'Tracks that Were' Venlo

In the autumn of 1944, in the North and Central Limburg region, more than 7,000 boys and men were rounded up by the Nazis in raids to be deported to Germany for forced labour.
The miserable conditions under which they were put to work cost several hundred their lives and left lasting wounds on the survivors and those left at home.

More than half of the deportees were collected at this station and transported from here to slave labor in cattle cars.
