The Projects to survey and to commemorate the Victims of the Concentration/Labor Camps and of Jewish and Holocaust Sites in Estonia

 

During the Second World War, 20 concentration and slave labor camps were set up in Estonia, most of them in East Virumaa. Several were near the capital Tallin, in Tartu and Pärnu. The Jewish community of Estonia conducted a large-scale remembrance project. To this end, the names and origin of all people murdered there, including victims of Austrian origin, were researched and memorials, plaques and sites of remembrance erected.

Während der Zeit des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden in Estland zwanzig KZ´s und Arbeitslager errichtet, die meisten in Ost-Virumaa. Einige waren in der Nähe der Hauptstadt Tallin, in Tartu und Pärnu. Die Jüdische Gemeinde Estlands führt ein Großprojekt des Gedenkens durch. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Namen und die Herkunft der dort ermordeten Menschen, darunter auch Opfer österreichischer Herkunft, nachgeforscht und entsprechende Denkmäler, Gedenktafeln und Gedenkstätten errichtet.
