Exhibition "Unworthy of life" in Tamsweg/Lungau

in German:
Ausstellung 'lebensUNwert' in Tamsweg/Lungau

 

Under the National Socialist regime, over 400 sick and disabled Salzberger fell victim to the murder actions of the National Socialists which were cynically described as euthanasia (“good death”). The aim of this exhibition in the Academic High School Tamsweg was to symbolically give back to these victims of National Socialist euthanasia their life stories, their faces and their place among us. A further aim of the exhibition was to take a stand regarding this era before the backdrop of modern-day humanity in all of its many forms.

in German:
Während der NS-Herrschaft fielen über 400 kranke und behinderte Salzburger und Salzburgerinnen der Mordaktion, die von den Nationalsozialisten zynischerweise als Euthanasie (schöner Tod) bezeichnet wurde, zum Opfer. Ziel dieser Ausstellung im Gymnasium Tamsweg ist es, den Opfern der 'NS-Euthanasie' symbolisch ihre Lebensgeschichte, ihr Gesicht, ihren Platz in unserer Mitte zurückzugeben. Ziel der Ausstellung ist es auch, Stellung zu dieser Zeit zu beziehen, vor dem Hintergrund des heutigen Mensch-Seins in all seiner Verschiedenheit.
