The Gedenkstätte Karajangasse at Gymnasium am Augarten presents 'Erinnerungswege Gedenkstätte Karajangasse,' a project designed to remember and educate about the National Socialist past. This initiative focuses on Jewish students from the 1937/38 school year who were compelled to leave their homes and school due to Nazi persecution. The project ingeniously uses Google Maps to guide users to the addresses of these former students. Each location is linked to digital letters, originally collected from students in the 1998/1999 school year. These personal testimonies offer insights into the students' daily lives at the Gymnasium am Augarten and their experiences in Vienna following the Nazi seizure of power in early 1938. The current project, carried out by students of the 8a and 8b classes under the guidance of Mag. Frank Gassner, effectively uses digital media to present school history and make it accessible to a broader audience, serving as an active contribution to the remembrance work at the institution.
