Memorial Pyramid in Front of the Memorial Site for Jewish Displaced Persons Givat Avoda (Peace)

The memorial pyramid, bearing the title "Peace," is an extension of the memorial site of the refugee camp "Givad Avoda." The memorial site in front of the current Anton-Wallner Barracks commemorates the Jewish refugees and displaced persons who stayed in the camp between 1946 and 1948 on their way to Palestine or Israel. The memorial pyramid, initiated by the association Alpine Peace Crossing, was inaugurated on June 25, 2021, together with a sculpture of a harp by the Israeli artist Moshe Frumin. In total, seven memorial pyramids were erected in 2013, describing the situation of the Jewish displaced persons during their flight over the Alps in German, English, and Italian. Furthermore, in 2021, the memorial site "Givat Avoda" was expanded with a memorial pyramid. In order to illustrate the presumed feelings of the refugees during their crossing of the Alps, each memorial pyramid was equipped with a central keyword.
