Sent in by Peter Heilbrunn:
Appeal by the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW) for the verification of the names for the Shoah Wall of Names Memorial
The Shoah Wall of Names Memorial is currently under construction at Ostarrichi Park in the 9th District of Vienna. The names of the Jewish children, women and men from Austria who were murdered in the Shoah will be engraved on large stone tablets in memory of the over 64,000 who were robbed of their lives.
Over the course of many years of work, the DÖW has created a database in which the names of the Austrian Holocaust victims are recorded. This will form the basis for the new memorial. The DÖW is now asking the families of the victims to help verify the names.
We are happy to share the DÖW's appeal to view the Shoah victims' database online and to check that ancestors are (correctly) listed.
Feedback should be sent directly to the DÖW (office@doew.at) and must be received by 10 August 2020 in order that it can be taken into account. Please share this appeal with as many people as possible to make best possible use of this opportunity - because no name should be forgotten!
