Memorial Plaque for NS Victims on the Cemetery Wall Maria Gail/Marija na Zilji

In May 2015, a memorial plaque made of rust-appearing steel with the names of nine victims of National Socialist persecution from the Villach district of Maria Gail was installed on the outside of the cemetery wall of Maria Gail, to the right of the entrance to the cemetery. In preparation for the project, an initiative group consisting of members from the village community of Maria Gail and the association Erinnern Villach was formed. On the plaque, in addition to the names, are also the birth and death dates of the murdered individuals as well as the place of their death. From this it is clear that the nine people were victims of different victim groups and different ages. The youngest was still less than two years old at the time of his murder.
