Memorial for the Victims of NS-Euthanasia in the Fließ Cemetery

Irmgard Wille and her brother Hermann campaigned for many years for the establishment of a memorial to commemorate the victims of the Nazi euthanasia program from Fließ. The Cultural Committee of the municipality, under the leadership of Alexandra Partl, decided to erect a monument, however without naming the victims, as some relatives were reluctant to publicly honor the victims of their families. The unveiling of the monument, designed by the Fließ stone sculptor Martin Schwienbacher, took place on the Day of the Souls, November 8, 2015, following the service as part of the traditional wreath-laying ceremony. Schwienbacher read the text he composed, which is displayed on the exterior wall of the mortuary.
