Memorial in Vienna, Austria The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic publishes in the series "International Remembrance and Memorial Sites" a multi-colored special postal stamp with the depiction of a detail from the memorial of the city of Vienna on the Central Cemetery. The memorial was designed by the sculptors Prof. Fritz Cremer, Berlin, and Prof. Schütte, Vienna, and is dedicated to the victims of a free Austria from 1934 to 1945. The Victims for a Free Austria 1934 to 1945 Like all European peoples, the Austrian people also had to make great sacrifices through the guilt of fascism. Tens of thousands of young antifascists and other patriots were executed and murdered in Gestapo prisons and prisons as well as fascist concentration camps. Almost 180,000 Austrians were imprisoned in concentration camps and dungeons and served long sentences. Some 400,000 citizens of Austria fell on the fronts or were killed in bombing raids, of which more than 12,000 were in Vienna. (1) To commemorate these victims, the Vienna City Senate decided on 18 September 1946 to erect a memorial at Vienna's Central Cemetery. The design and execution were commissioned by the well-known sculptors Professor Fritz CREMER, Berlin, and Professor SCHÜTTE, Vienna. The depicted figures on the special postal stamp symbolize the struggle of the patriotic forces for the national freedom of Austria. They accuse fascism and show the deep sadness of the people for the sacrifices they have made. This fundamental idea is also visible in the name "Memorial of the City of Vienna" - "The Victims of a Free Austria 1934 - 1945". On November 1, 1948, this impressive monument was unveiled at a solemn rally by Mayor of the city of Vienna, Theodor Körner, later President of the Republic of Austria. On antifascist and national commemoration days, the memorial celebrations and wreath-laying ceremonies take place. (1) This information is a publication of the head of the "Documentation Archive of Austrian Resistance", Vienna, Professor Dr. med. Herbert Steiner, taken.
