Deportation of Novi Sad Jews (April 26, 1944)
The closed goods wagon standing at the siding is a Hungarian state railways van, lettered for that company and marked with its class, so the rolling stock used here belonged to the Hungarian administration. Men in suits and caps are gathered on the open ground beside the siding, several of them wearing a light armband on their left sleeves, and the fortress runs along the escarpment across the water behind.
About this place
The Novi Sad bank of the Danube, the embankment walk between the bridges. It is where the town meets its river: steamers tied up along it, the ferry and later the pontoon crossing landed on it, and it is the vantage point for most photographs looking across to the Petrovaradin cliff. Today the embankment carries more than one name along its length, Beogradski kej and Kej zrtava racije among them, and this entry holds the general name for the whole walk.
