Memorial Plaque for NS Victims at the Cemetery Arnoldstein/Podklošter

In the new cemetery area of Arnoldstein, there is beside the large viewing hall a small elevation with a stone-built archway. The origin history of this memorial, inscribed with the text "Your death was sacrifice, our duty is peace," is unclear. It is, however, known that in 1963 an additional commemorative plaque in marble was attached to this memorial. The text of this plaque recalls all those who had to give their lives between 1934 and 1945 because of their democratic convictions, their loyalty and love for their homeland, and their language and ancestry. Finally, one finds a Bible quote from the Book of Isaiah: "Peace, peace, to the distant and to the near!" The stone plaque with this text was renewed a few years ago, as it had become almost unreadable due to weathering.
