Memorial for murdered Jehovah's Witnesses in Techelsberg/Teholica above Vrbsko jezero

At the War Memorial in Töschling in the municipality of Techelsberg am Wörthersee, among the names of soldiers of World War II who were listed as missing, five men were listed who did not die in military service. The five Jehovah's Witnesses from the community were murdered by the National Socialists due to their resistance. In order to correct this distortion of history and to honor the victims, the five names were removed from the War Memorial in 2017 and a separate memorial was erected in immediate proximity, directly at the entrance to Techelsberg am Wörthersee on the B 83. The inscription contains the names of the five murdered men and recalls the other victims from the group of Jehovah's Witnesses in the community. The engraved poem comes from the son and brother of two of the murdered men and was written by him during his imprisonment in a concentration camp.
