This memorial was dedicated to the mother of Simon Gronowski, a lawyer and humanist. She placed her son, then 11 years old, a little further up the steps of the train car.
His jump was the stepping stone to freedom and life.
She continued her journey with her daughter until their deaths in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Historical interpretation of the major event:
The 20th (XXth) train convoy took place in April 1943. The transport consisted of 1,630 Jewish prisoners from Camp Mechelen in Belgium. They were being transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
