Reconstruction of the scene when Transport XX, the 20th Convoy, stops for approximately 15 minutes in the early morning of April 20, 1943, around 1 a.m., at Korbeek-Lo station on Belgian railway line 36 near Leuven, between the villages of Korbeek-Lo and Bierbeek, with the St. Kamillus Institute on the Krijkelberg hill.
This transport, coming from Mechelen and bound for Auschwitz, carries Jewish prisoners in 35 cattle wagons.
This train DA.801 has an estimated length of 400 meters, so that when the locomotive is positioned before the bridge—the bridge over Bierbeek Street—the last wagon stands opposite the St. Kamillus Institute.
