Project

 

Description

Every May, a memorial service is held in Gusen in memory of the victims of the Mauthausen Nazi concentration camp and its subcamps, as well as an international liberation ceremony at the Mauthausen Memorial. For many years, representatives of the international group of Jehovah's Witnesses victims have participated in these events. In May 2025, the Lila Winkel association is planning a remembrance journey to enable young people from the Jehovah's Witnesses victim group, as well as their relatives and other interested parties, particularly from Carinthia and Styria, to visit the Gusen and Mauthausen memorial sites.
