Memorial for NS Victims in Oberpullendorf/Felsöpulya

In memory of the victims of National Socialism, a memorial plaque was unveiled on September 19, 2020, in front of the building of the District Office in Oberpullendorf, following a decision of the municipal council. The basis of the memorial created by Andreas Lehner is a photo of a Roma girl in the ghetto of the city of Łódź. After Łódź, in November 1941, 5,007 Romnija and Roma, Sintiza and Sinti, more than half of whom were children, were deported. Around 2,000 deportees came from the Lackenbach camp, located near Oberpullendorf. In Oberpullendorf, Romnija and Roma, Jewish women and men, people who resisted for political or religious reasons, and people whose right to life was denied due to illness or disability, were victims of National Socialism.
