Glasfenster in der Zeremonienhalle mit Motiven der Shoah

The New Ceremony Hall of the New Jewish Cemetery Central Cemetery, Simmeringer Hauptstraße 244, Gate IV was opened on December 17, 1967. In the central hall of the building, in the area of the dome, there are four glass windows showing motifs of the Shoah, which are explained by texts placed underneath. The glass windows were financed "by former Austrian Jews living abroad," and were designed by the artist and former concentration camp prisoner Heinrich Sussmann. The windows made of colored glass have the themes "Destruction of the Temples," "Theresienstadt," "Death Camps," and "Angels carry the Menorah to Glory." The inscriptions are in German and Hebrew.
