Graz in the Shadow of National Socialism: A Self-Guided Audio Tour Through the City's Darkest Years
What happened here between 1938 and 1945? Who lived in these houses, what was decided in these squares, and who was deported from here? Graz was dubbed “the city of the people’s uprising” — a distinction awarded by the Nazi leadership in 1938 that still resonates today. This self-guided audio tour takes you to the authentic locations of the Nazi era: from the settings of the “Anschluss” to the centers of power and the sites where the Jewish community was persecuted and annihilated. With a smartphone and headphones in hand, you navigate from one scene to the next. The audio guide tells, with depth and respect, what happened here — the events, the perpetrators, the victims. Historical photos and documents make the past visible at the very places where it unfolded.
