Places of remembrance in the area
In the region around Melk Memorial and the museum ERLAUF REMEMBERS there are a few visible, but also lesser known and sometimes nearly forgotten places of remembrance.
The project "Zwischenräume" (interspaces) is dedicated to many of these historical sites of National Socialist crimes and to the challenges of a changing culture of remembrance.
Together with Melk memorial and the museum ERLAUF REMEMBERS Zwischenräume addresses the forced labor in the tunnels under the Wachberg hill near Roggendorf, the massacre of Hungarian Jewish forced laborers in Hofamt Priel, the forced labor in the HITIAG spinning mill in Golling an der Erlauf as well as the resistance against the Nazi regime by a group from Pöchlarn and also the creation of the Peace Cross Memorial in St. Lorenz.
