On November 16, 1941, the first transport of Jewish residents from Brno and surrounding municipalities, named "F," departed from platform 5 of Brno's main train station to the ghetto in Minsk. The unveiling of the Memorial to the Missing was initiated by the Jewish Community of Brno as a reminder of the eighty-second anniversary of the transports of Jewish residents from Brno and surrounding municipalities to concentration and extermination camps.

The memorial should be a splinter in the palm.
You do not know about it, and when you touch it, it will hurt you.
