Carl Zuckmayr Inscription at the Feldkirch Station

The writer Carl Zuckmayer (1896-1977) made a stop at the Feldkirch train station on 15 March 1938 during his flight from national socialist Austria. In his autobiography „Als wär’s ein Stück von mir“ he recorded his experiences. From the Feldkirch train station, people were deported during the NS dictatorship and the war to labor camps, concentration camps and prisons. Through this station, many, like Zuckmayer himself, tried to flee to Switzerland. The quote on track 1 reminds of the fate of the refugees.
