Monument of the Częstochowa Ghetto Holocaust (Samuel Willenberg Square)

Today, this square borders the former site of the Warta freight station and railway ramp, from where transports to the Treblinka extermination camp departed. The Holocaust of Jewish Częstochowa was heralded by the arrival on September 21, 1942, of a train composed of 60 covered freight cars. Up to 150 people were placed in each car, in unbearable confinement, without water or food. A single transport could carry as many as 8,500 people, and the journey lasted nearly 17 hours. The first transport left Częstochowa on September 22, and the last on October 7, 1942.

In 2009, a monument designed by sculptor Samuel Willenberg (1923–2016), a native of Częstochowa, a Treblinka camp survivor, and participant in the camp uprising on August 2, 1943, was erected here.

            W 2009 r. wzniesiono tu pomnik zaprojektowany przez artystę rzeźbiarza Samuela Willenberga (1923–2016), częstochowianina, więźnia obozu zagłady w Treblince, uczestnika powstania w obozie 2 sierpnia 1943 r.
