Memorial Pyramid for Jewish Refugees on the Way to the Tauern Pass (Zuversicht)

The memorial pyramid, erected at the junction to the Windbachtal at an elevation of 1,666 meters, commemorates the Jewish refugees who sought a new home in Palestine or in the Israel established in 1948. For many refugees, the ascent through the Windbachtal began at this point; others, however, had to take the much longer route to the end of the valley in order to cross the Birnlücke into the Ahrntal. In total, seven memorial pyramids were erected in 2013, each in German, English, and Italian, describing the situation of the Jewish displaced persons at that time during their flight over the Alps. In addition, the memorial site "Givat Avoda" was expanded in 2021 with a memorial pyramid. In order to convey the presumed feelings of the refugees during their crossing of the Alps, each memorial pyramid was equipped with a central keyword.
