This portal keeps the memory of Martin Herzenberger alive – a boy from Hall whose life and future were brutally extinguished by the Nazi regime of terror.

His Story:
Martin Herzenberger was born on April 26, 1930. He was 12 years old when Nazi persecution forever changed his world. As part of a persecuted minority, his freedom and his childhood were stolen from him.
Together with Barbara Winter and her three small children, 13-year-old Martin was deported on April 3, 1943 on a transport from the Innsbruck police prison to the hell of Auschwitz.
Martin did not survive the concentration camp. The exact date of his death remains unknown. His short life ended sometime in 1943 in the anonymous cruelty of the camp. He was just 13 years old.
His fate is a silent witness to the systematic brutality of a regime that did not hesitate to extinguish even the lives of children.
We remember Martin not with a number, but with his name. His name stands for all those who no longer have a voice.
“The memory of the innocent is an obligation for the living.”
— His home was Hall. His prison was Auschwitz. Our duty is remembrance. --
