Alpine Peace Crossing is a memory-walk crossing the Krimmler Tauern pass (2.634 m) to remind of displaced persons of Jewish origin, who in 1947 lived in a camp in Saalfelden, Salzburg (state), Austria, and also to remind of refugees of these days. Most of the so called displaced persons had overcome the Nazi-conzentration camps and wanted to immigrate to Eretz Israel. At that time this was illegal and because of the British occupation army stationed in the Austrian part of Tyrol not possible on normal ways (road, railway..). In summer 1947 therefore every second night about 150 – 200 persons walked 15 hours in the dark – children, women, men and elderly people – crossing the alps on dangerous paths and without proper clothing and shoes to reach the south of Tyrol, since 1920 part of Italy, to leave Europe via the port of Genua.
