Exactly 50 years ago ended one of the most disastrous periods of our century, the Second World War. A total of about 372,000 dead or permanently missing were the result of the fateful epoch of National Socialism from 1938 to 1945 in Austria. In addition, 100,000 Austrians were trapped in dungeons or concentration camps between the ages of three months and seven years. With the end of the war, the return of the surviving Austrians from the prisoner of war camps began, which would take ten years. The year 1955 was certainly the most important in these last 50 years since the end of the war, because it was the Austrian State Treaty that restored our country's independence, which had been stolen in 1938.
