The forced labor camp in Viehofen
The fact that in Viehofen near St. Pölten a forced labor camp for Hungarian Jews and Jewish women existed, was for more than 60 years displaced and forgotten. It was not until the letter of a young youth, Rószi Wolf, to the INJOEST, that it was known that Jewish families were used as slaves for the management of traits in Viehofen. From 10 July 1944 to 8 April 1945 up to 180 people aged two to over 80 years lived in three barracks and huts.
