Description: Inscription on a plate next to the memorial stone on the Marzahn cemetery: "On a former sewage field North of the cemetery, the Nazis set up a so called <<Zigeunerrastplatz (gypsies resting place)>> in advance of the Olympic Games 1936, on which hundreds of Sinti and Roma were forced to live. Crowded into dark shacks, the inhabitants of the camp survived with difficulty. Hard labour, sickness and hunger claimed their victims. At random people were abducted and arrested. Humiliating <<racial hygiene examinations>> spread fear and terror. In Spring 1943 most of the <<detained people>> were deported to Auschwitz. Men and women, seniors and children. Only few survived."
