Memorial Stone for Hungarian-Jewish Forced Laborers in the Urbarial Forest German Schützen

In the Urbarialwald of Deutsch Schützen, about 500 meters east of the village, there is a mass grave for 57 Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers. The grave with the bodies of the victims could only be rediscovered in August 1995 based on information provided by the survivor Moshe Zairi. After the grave was opened, a relocation was foregone, as it could not be guaranteed that all body parts could be recovered. As a result, the area was declared a burial site, the mass grave was sealed with a concrete cover, fenced off, provided with a memorial stone, and consecrated in a religious ceremony in June 1996.

The victims are Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers who were brought to Deutsch Schützen for the construction of the so-called Southeast Wall and were shot dead on March 29, 1945, during a mass execution by SS men.
