The bone of contention

This stone is intended to "trigger" reflection and remembrance of these former fellow citizens of Goisern, and also indicates that these people were taken offense at during the Nazi era.

A "Stone of Offense" was unveiled in the Kurpark to commemorate the victims of the Nazi era.

The spa park, which dates back to the 1960s, was built on the site of the Goiserermühle mill, which was expropriated in 1938.

The central memorial to those Goiserners who fell victim to Nazi ideology is to be held there.

Initially, these are people who were persecuted for being Jewish or "half-breeds" and therefore lost their property, such as the Schenner family, owners of the Goiserermühle, and the Horowitz family, from whom the park sanatorium (now Hanuschhof) was taken.

The project will gradually grow and commemorate other people and victims, e.g. up to 10 disabled or mentally handicapped people from Goisern were killed in Hartheim as "unworthy life". Suggestions for further plaques will be accepted by the mayor and discussed in the culture committee.
