Op deze plek in het voormalig gebied van het gemeentelijk handelsterrein heeft gedurende de tweede wereldoorlog Loods 24 gestaan. Deze loods werd gebruikt als verzamel en doorgangsplaats voor joden uit Rotterdam en de Zuid-Hollandse Eilanden via Westerbork werden de joden naar Oost-Europa gedeporteerd om daar te worden vermoord. Het grootste deel van de ca. 12.000 joden die in Rotterdam en omgeving woonden, werd via Loods 24 weggevoerd.
Slechts enkelen keerden terug.

"So as to never forget"
Warehouse 24 stood at this location on the former grounds of the municipal trading area during the Second World War. This warehouse was used as a gathering and transit point for Jews from Rotterdam and the South Holland Islands. Via Westerbork, the Jews were deported to Eastern Europe to be murdered there. Most of the approximately 12,000 Jews who lived in Rotterdam and the surrounding area were deported via Warehouse 24.
Only a few returned.

Excerpt: Loods 24 was a port warehouse on the site of the Municipal Commercial Establishments between the Binnenhavenm (Inner port) and the Spoorweghaven (Railway port) in Rotterdam. The shed was used for the storage of tobacco. During the Second World War it was used by the Germans as a meeting place for the deportation of Jews.(Submitted on April 2, 2024.)
In 1941, 11,000 Jews still lived in Rotterdam. Before the war this was 13,000. Between 30 July 1942 and 22 April 1943, 6,790 people were deported via Loods 24 in 8 transports. The majority of the Jews who were deported via Loods 24 were murdered in Sobibσr and Auschwitz-Birkenau. Research in 2000 showed that 144 people survived the deportations.
