Shoah Namensmauern Gedenkstätte, Holocaust memorial in Alsergrund, Austria
The memorial consists of stone walls arranged in an oval shape, displaying 65,000 names of Austrian Jewish victims inscribed on granite plates.
The site opened on November 9, 2021, marking the anniversary of the 1938 November Pogroms, after two decades of planning and construction efforts.
This memorial represents Austria's dedication to remembering Jewish citizens who perished during World War II through a permanent physical documentation of their names.
Located in Ostarrichi Park near the Austrian National Bank, the memorial remains open throughout the day and night for visitors to pay their respects.
Each of the 160 stone walls contains precisely engraved names from records provided by the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance.
