Memorial for the victims of the Präbichl massacre

The iron ore trials were legal proceedings initiated by the British occupying forces in the spring of 1946 and took place in Graz ( Austria ).

A number of Volkssturm men from Eisenerz were accused of massacring over 250 Hungarian Jews on April 7, 1945 during a death march on the Präbichl ( Erzberg ). Of the 18 defendants, ten (including Otto Christandl ) were sentenced to death, four received prison terms and four were released from prison. Those sentenced to death were executed on June 21, 1946.
