OUR MISSION
Thousands of our brethren, not to mention our very own fathers and mothers, aunts, uncles and cousins were tragically murdered by the Nazis.
Many thousands more died in death marches towards the end – or immediately after – the war. Their bodies lie scattered among the blood-soaked soil of many European countries including Austria.
Many of these graves are on the side of the roads near the towns they passed. Some are located in the local city cemetery, and some are in the local Jewish cemetery.
It is our mission that 80 years after their death, these victims of the death marches who were not afforded any dignity in death, should finally get the dignity they deserve.

"It is futile to try to describe the
atrocities which I witnessed with my own eyes while I was imprisoned there, but my feelings are
impossible to hold back.
These are people – our own brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers - who were murdered for the sole reason of them being a part of Am Yisrael.
The tragedy is compounded by the fact that not only were they murdered in disgrace but their bodies are lying in disgrace, all but forgotten by those of us fortunate enough to survive"
