On the north side of the Campo di Ghetto Nuovo, a series of bronze reliefs is set into the brick wall, commemorating the 246 Venetian Jews deported to the death camps in 1943 and 1944, only a handful of whom returned. The reliefs, harrowing scenes of arrest and deportation, were made by the Lithuanian-born painter and sculptor Arbit Blatas and installed in 1980.
Beside them, a long wooden panel — "The Last Train" — lists the names and ages of the deported, from the elderly down to infants. The memorial is unenclosed and free, part of the everyday fabric of the campo, and quietly one of the most affecting things to see in Venice.
