Memorial for 63 nameless Jewish concentration camp prisoners in Waldfriedhof Seefeld

On 28 April 1945, a train transport with 1,700 Jewish prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp stranded in Seefeld, where their death march began. The Schwarze Kreuz, the Tyrolean state government, and the Seefeld municipality erected a memorial stone at the newly built woodland cemetery in 1948 in memory of the Jewish victims. Finally, on the initiative of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde under its president Esther Fritsch, a new memorial was created, which was inaugurated by Oberrabiner Paul Chaim Eisenberg on 31 October 2016. Six diagonally cut tree stumps remind people of the inviolability of Jewish graves, while the 63 anthracite-colored concrete cubes with engraved Star of David commemorate each individual Jewish victim. The cubes also symbolize the millions of victims of both world wars. The architect Michael Prachensky sees his memorial as a utopian total work of art that "consciously unites the Jewish victims, the soldiers, and the citizens who died in everyday life here in Seefeld in peace."
