“It is outrageous that a business park should be built on the grounds of the second largest former women’s concentration camp in Austria. In addition, without any binding promise for a worthy memorial. The fact that this project was decided in the commemorative year is another scandal and shameful for the memorial culture in Austria,” says Lukas Hammer.
“The plans for a ‘commemorative path’ on the edge of the area are a minimal concession that does not meet the historical weight of this place in any way,” says Hammer and appeals: “This area must be protected as a historical place and made visible by a worthy memorial. This is guilty of the victims. Especially in this year it is our duty to take responsibility – but not only with words, but by concrete Act.
