Visit from the APC

On Saturday our GEDENKDIENST volunteer Laurenz welcomed the team of the Alpine Peace Crossing to Jachymka to show them our work.

Alpine Peace Crossing (APC) is an Austrian organization based in Krimml (Salzburg province).

„Verein für aktive Gedenk- und Erinnerungskultur – Alpine Peace Crossing” (APC) is an Austrian memorial association which focuses on Jewish escapes after 1945 and adjacent topics. The central event of their work is the escape of thousands of Jews in 1947. On their way to present-day Israel, they had to cross the Krimmler Tauern. They fled from antisemitism which was still rampant in Europe. For some, Austria was the starting point of their escapes, others crossed the country in transit. They commemorate these escapes with a yearly hike in Salzburg’s Krimml.

We want to thank the team of the Alpine Peace Crossing for their keen interest in our work and look forward to cooperating with them in the future!
