From Darkness To Light

The dark past of a Warsaw-Auschwitz transport car meets its challenge at the JETS campus. Discovered in a Polish forest, then purchased, transferred & donated to JETS by philanthropist Mr. Stanley Black and the Black family, it is one of a handful of authentic Holocaust boxcars in America.

About The Cattle Car

Of the thousands of cattle-cars used in executing “The Final Solution,” only a handful remain in existence. One of those cars, which was used to transport victims to Auschwitz, was salvaged and brought to the US through the efforts of philanthropist Mr. Stanley Black and the Black family. Though many museums and organizations vied to have it housed on their premises, Mr. Black insisted that it be permanently displayed on the grounds of JETS, where Jewish youth are being prepared for bright & promising futures.
