Memorial stone on former Jewish cemetery in Großpetersdorf

Not far from the train station in Großpetersdorf, next to a storage area, there has been since 2002 a memorial stone, bearing witness to the former Jewish cemetery. This was established by the Jewish population present in Großpetersdorf in 1895. After the expulsion of the Jews from Großpetersdorf in 1938 by the National Socialists, the cemetery was destroyed and the remains of the Jews from Großpetersdorf were transferred to the Jewish cemetery in Oberwart. After the "Aryanization," the area of the former cemetery was sold, the land was then leveled and used as a storage area. The tombstones were sold by the National Socialists as building material to a stonemason company and other private individuals.
