The majority of that transport were murdered in Bikernieki and Rumbula forests. Other transports went to the Izbica ghetto and Auschwitz in Poland. The last transport departed in February 1945 with the destination Theresienstadt north of Prague.

The memorial was inaugurated in 2006 and the tracks from which the deportations departed are preserved. Next to the tracks, there is a memorial of the deportations, names of the deported, and brief information about what deportation meant in reality. Nordbahnhof is overall a well balanced memorial.
