Mahnmal Rathaus Gleisdorf
Gleisdorf
The first initiative to erect a memorial came from Wolfgang Seereiter in 2005, “The Future Needs Remembrance Association”. In 2006 Gleisdorf students were invited to take part in the design competition to create a memorial sign - and they did.
The 15-year-old Gleisdorf student Corinna Donnerer designed the memorial behind the town hall. The municipality of Gleisdorf took over the structural work and financing. Since the beginning of 1945, there have been numerous crimes in Styria that were repressed and ultimately forgotten soon after liberation from the Nazi regime and a short phase of primarily judicial investigation: the crimes against thousands of Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers. The memorial commemorates the death march of Hungarian Jews in April 1945. Every year around May 5th - the day on which the Mauthausen concentration camp was liberated by American troops - a memorial ceremony is held at the memorial.
