[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]

Near the end of World War II a group of Jewish forced labourers were ordered to dig ditches, later used as a mass grave for the last 182 Hungarian Jews in Rechnitz, Austria. Isidor Sandorffy's attempts to investigate this crime, carried on by others after his death, encountered a "wall of silence" from Rechnitz residents and other witnesses. The mass grave has not been found. The Kreuzstadel was declared a memorial site in 1993
