Memorial for Hungarian-Jewish Forced Laborers

In the final months of the war, tens of thousands of Jewish women and men were driven by the National Socialist authorities on so-called death marches from the Ostwall construction across the Steiermark to the concentration camp Mauthausen. During these marches, shootings and massacres occurred repeatedly. The largest massacre was committed by the Eisenerz Volkssturm on April 8, 1945, in the immediate vicinity of the pass height of the Präbichl, where over 200 Jews and Jewish women were murdered and buried in the Seeau near the Leopoldsteiner Lake. In the immediate vicinity of the Leopoldsteiner Lake, Ramesch Daha erected an oversized, bent historical postcard as a memorial. In addition, she has installed a further eleven postcards (Wandfliesen) along the path next to the Liebfrauenkirche in Eisenerz, which she has adorned with eyewitness accounts as well as lyrical texts, revealing the seemingly idyllic image of the Eisenerz landscape.
