Cloth over boards. [6], 327, [3] p. Map. From Wikipedia: "The Umschlagplatz was the square in Warsaw where Jews were gathered for deportation from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka death camp as part of Operation Reinhard. A monument was erected in 1988 on Stawki Street, where the Umschlagplatz was located, to commemorate the deportation victims. Jews were deported in crowded freight cars to Treblinka. An estimated 300, 000 Jews were taken to the Treblinka gas chambers. The mass deportation action ended on 21 September 1942, although trains to Treblinka continued to depart until the end of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. The Umschlagplatz was created by fencing off a western part of the Warszawa Gda ska freight train station that was adjacent to the ghetto. The area was surrounded by a wooden fence, later replaced by a concrete wall. Railway buildings and installations on the site, as well as a former homeless shelter and a hospital were converted into a prisoner selection facility."
