Fest der Freude 2023 (Festival of Joy 2023)

May 8 is a day of joy for the end of Nazi rule in Europe and is dedicated to the memory of the victims of the policy of persecution and extermination.

The Mauthausen Committee Austria invites to the "Festival of Joy" on the Heldenplatz in Vienna, which has long become a tradition.

The highlight of the Festival of Joy will be the speech of contemporary witness Anna Hackl. During the National Socialist era, Anna Hackl and her family saved the lives of two people at great risk during the "Mühlviertel Manhunt" by hiding two escaped concentration camp prisoners.
