Gedenkstätte for Victims of National Socialism in Parndorf

A memorial site for the victims of National Socialism was solemnly inaugurated on April 2, 2023, in front of the local cemetery in Parndorf. The ensemble consists of a sculpture by Daniel Bucur, a memorial stone remembering the victims of the "NS-Euthanasia," two memorial plaques for the Jewish and political victims, and three information plaques. The Parndorfer NS-critics, anti-fascists, and resistance fighters, Josef Kiraly, Adolf Schmutzer, Johann Huszar, and Stefan Jakits, met their deaths during the time of National Socialism. Five people from Parndorf were murdered during the "NS-Euthanasia" in Hartheim, and a child was killed "Am Spiegelgrund" in Vienna. In addition, at least seven Jewish women and men from the village were murdered or died in ghettos.
