Azra Aksamija and the team at Future Heritage Studio have been awarded the commission to create a permanent memorial for the victims of Nazi medical crimes at the Mauer-Öhling State Hospital in Lower Austria. The project will transform a previously unmarked mass grave into a dignified cemetery and contemplative space for remembrance. More than 2,850 patients were murdered at the site during the Nazi "euthanasia" program, and many others perished due to systematic neglect or direct killings. To this day, there has been no proper place to honor these victims, making this project especially meaningful and timely. The memorial is scheduled for completion in late 2025 as part of the 2026 Lower Austrian Provincial Exhibition focused on the history of mental health.

Location: Landesklinikum Mauer, Hausmeninger Str. 221, 3362 Amstetten, Austria
