Ceremonial inauguration of seven stations of “the Stones of Remembrance” in Vienna Währing on Sunday, 9.10.
The opening ceremony will take place in the garden of number 18, Max-Emanuel-Straße 17 in the presence of about 50 people. This is also the location of the first station on today’s path. The music group Avanim opens with the song Oyfn Pripetschik and accompanies the ceremony with other musical specialities, Eli and Tumbalalaika.
Roswitha Hammer warmly welcomed the relatives who have come from several parts of the world and all the other guests.
District councillor DI Thomas Michel thanks the association for its work. He emphasises that in 1938 everyone knew what had happened. For him and for future generations, the stones have a great significance. The victims have a safe place in front of their former homes where they can be remembered. Standing up for human rights is of great importance, especially in our times when the threat from the right is so strong.
