Excerpt- the wall: Loods 24 was a warehouse used to store tobacco. During WW II the warehouse served as a transit location for the deportation of Jews. The part of the wall still standing here now is a remnant of the wall that served as an enclosure of the facility.(Submitted on May 6, 2024.)
Before 1940, approximately 13,000 Jews lived in Rotterdam. When the deportations started on 30 July 1942 their number had already declined to about 11,000. A total of 6,790 persons transited through Loods 24 and were transported in eight separate transports, mostly to Sobibor and Auschwitz. Only 488 people (6 percent) survived these deportations. Of the total number of 11,000 Jewish residents in 1942 just 36,9 percent survived the war.
