in German:
Über 90 Transporte gingen von Wien in die Ghettos und Vernichtungslager. Die meisten davon vom Aspangbahnhof, der somit auch zu einer Stätte der Verzweiflung und des Grauens wurde. Die SchülerInnen, die am „March of the Living“ teilgenommen haben, wurden eben dort verabschiedet, bevor sie sich auf den Weg nach Auschwitz begeben haben.
