Competition on the 80th anniversary of the death of Josef Mayr-Nusser: Celebrate diversity!

On the occasion of Josef Mayr-Nusser's 80th day of death, a courageous conscientious conscience, there are numerous initiatives to commemorate. On February 24, 2025, the day on which the Mayr-Nusser pursued under the Nazis died. In 1945 he was sentenced to death in a cattle wagon at the Erlangen train station to make the oath on Hitler. His decision to remain true to his values decided on his fate and he died on the way to Dachau after he was held in an overcrowded cattle wagon for eight days. This happens at a time when the madness and cruelty of the Nazi era are reminded in order to set a sign against any form of discrimination. This emerges from information from kathpress.at.

To commemorate Mayr-Nusser, the pastoral care office of the Diocese of Bozen-Brixen, together with the platform "Memorial Day Josef Mayr-Nusser", organizes a creative competition. Under the motto "I'm different. You are different. Human dignity is inviolable. For everyone." Contributions are welcome in the form of texts, poems, pictures or works of art by January 15, 2025. The award will then be made for the commemoration on February 24, 2025. Participants can submit in different categories: children, adolescents and adults, whereby the focus is on the theme of human dignity and difference. This competition is a direct tribute to Mayr-Nusser's life's work that is exemplary for civil courage and human dignity.
