For a better understanding what has happened all the way from Krimml over the Krimml Tauern Pass to Kasern in the Aurina Valley nine commemorative plaques have been installed in 2013. They describe in German, English, Italian and Hebrew the situation of the refugees during their crossing of the alps.
On each of the first six pyramides you will find in addition to the descriptive text a keyword that tries to describe the assumed feelings of the refugees on the respective position:

The seventh pyramide was installed in the village of Krimml, sequenced number 1, and it bears the same Keyword as the last one in Kasern: “PEACE”
The eighth pyramid was erected in 2021 in front of the Anton Wallner Barracks in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer. It commemorates the former displaced persons (DP) camp “Givat Avoda” located on the barracks grounds.
The ninth pyramid was erected in 2025 in Preuschenpark in the city of Salzburg in memory of the former DP camp “New Palestine.”
The keywords are written vertically in the upper half of each pyramide – in the same language as the text, and additionally in Hebrew.
