The memorial at the Frankfurt Wholesale Market Hall commemorates the deportation of Jews from Frankfurt am Main during the era of National Socialism. From 1941 to 1945, the Secret State Police used the cellar of the Wholesale Market Hall as a gathering point for the deportation of Jews from the city and the Rhine-Main region.
The Memorial Site Großmarkthalle stands as a poignant reminder of a significant chapter in history. Located within the former wholesale market hall in Frankfurt, this memorial commemorates the tragic events of November 9-10, 1938, known as Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass.
During this violent pogrom orchestrated by the Nazi regime, the wholesale market hall served as a temporary detention center for Jewish men who were arrested and subjected to brutal persecution. The memorial preserves the memory of those who suffered and perished during this dark period of history.
Through exhibits, educational programs, and solemn reflection, the Memorial Site Großmarkthalle honors the victims and serves as a solemn reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. It stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of remembrance in shaping a more just and compassionate world.
