Memorial Stone for Victims at the Southeast Wall Construction in Eberau

On the main square of Eberau there is a memorial stone for the victims of the Südostwallbau. This was erected in 2012 on initiative of Adi Lang from the community of Eberau and with support of the Cultural Forum of Südburgenland. The first Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers were brought to Eberau around Christmas 1944, where they were employed in the so-called Südostwallbau. During the forced labor, which lasted until the end of March 1945, approximately 30 victims died in the section of Eberau, on the one hand from typhus, on the other hand, according to eyewitness reports, executions of forced laborers are said to have taken place.
