On the Jewish cemetery in Mattersburg there is a memorial wall, which was built from fragments of gravestones and still intact gravestones. National Socialists desecrated the cemetery, which had already existed since 1694, after coming to power in 1938, and destroyed gravestones wantonly. During the war, gravestones were repurposed and, for example, used for paving sidewalks or for road construction.
