”Remembering for the Future“

Project Description

”In the spring of 1945, the National Socialist dictatorship, unsurpassed in its cruelty, came to an end in this country. In our district, it had claimed many victims. Hundreds of innocent people from the Mariahilf district were deported and murdered for racial, political, religious or other ideological reasons, including their sexual orientation. Permanent objects of memory will created to honor the memory of these people and to oppose similar trends in the present and future.

Erinnern This project will be carried out by experts, representatives of groups persecuted by the Nazi regime, and inhabitants of the district (especially apprentices trained in this district). Where appropriate and necessary, pedagogical and especially anthropological support will be provided. One aspect of participation will take the form of private people, companies, institutions, etc., having the opportunity to sponsor one or more objects, and/or the pedagogical and anthropological support.

A diverse cultural program will deal with the relevance of historical events on the present and the future. Information and discussion events will be carried out in a number of locations in the district. Events at schools and cultural events will primarily address young people. In addition to the emphasis on history, contemporary forms of racism, xenophobia and the suppression of minorities will be addressed.”
