Map / Massaker von Rechnitz
In der Nähe vom Schloss Rechnitz wurden am 24. und 25. März 1945 etwa 200 ungarisch-jüdische Zwangsarbeiter ermordet, als etwa 600 von ihnen, vor allem ungarische Juden, mit der Bahn von Kőszeg nach Burg transportiert wurden, um bei der Errichtung des sogenannten Südostwalls eingesetzt zu werden. Etwa 200 von ihnen, die erschöpfungs- und krankheitsbedingt nicht mehr arbeiten konnten, wurden nach Rechnitz zurücktransportiert.

Zehn Tage bevor die Rote Armee Rechnitz erreichte, wurden dort 180 von ihnen erschossen. Die Toten wurden von Zwangsarbeitern vergraben, die am Folgetag erschossen wurden.
