Pogromdenkmal, Holocaust memorial at Eduard-Wallnöfer-Platz, Innsbruck, Austria
The Pogromdenkmal is a memorial on Eduard-Wallnöfer-Platz featuring a seven-meter-high menorah rising from a copper base. The base displays the names of local Jewish victims who were killed in 1938.
The memorial refers to four Innsbruck residents - Josef Adler, Wilhelm Bauer, Richard Berger, and Richard Graubart - who were killed during the November 1938 pogrom. This marks a turning point in the history of the city's Jewish community.
The memorial came from a youth parliament idea in 1995, where high school students took part in a design competition. This involvement meant young people had a direct role in shaping how their community remembers these events.
The memorial stands in the center of Innsbruck on Eduard-Wallnöfer-Platz and is easy to reach on foot from the main areas. The square brings together several important monuments in one place, making it a natural stop during a walk through the city center.
Glass fragments are built into the monument structure to represent broken lives and hearts. These elements add to the emotional impact when visitors examine the different parts of the memorial.
