Episode 42: Nazi era Cologne-Müngersdorf deportation camp memorial, to feel the energy still there.
Manage episode 434181642 series 3523479
Today I visit the Cologne-Müngersdorf deportation camp memorial. Here I feel various remnants of Jewish Men, Women, and Children who passed through this half way point to Hell on Earth - the death camps in Poland and other occupied Eastern Countries.
Between 1941 and 1945, around 3,500 people from Cologne and the surrounding communities who were persecuted as Jews were interned in the Müngersdorf deportation camp. It therefore played a central role in the persecution and extermination apparatus of the Nazi regime and was the starting point of the Shoah in Cologne.
Approximately where a gate now leads to the “Waldfrieden” allotment garden in Müngersdorf, the gates to the final stop on the way to hell used to be located. A barracks complex stood there between 1941 and 1945. With Fort V, a former Prussian fortification a few hundred meters away, it served as a deportation camp for the Nazis. From here, thousands of people, primarily of Jewish origin, were deported to the extermination camps.
I meet the energy consciousness of a few former inmates, and describe the feelings I have.
Here is an aerial view of the whole site now in Apple Maps.
