Interior del templo del valle de la pirámide de Kefrén. Este edificio es sin duda uno de los más notables de la antigüedad. Por desgracia la compañía de las pirámides y de la esfinge le hacen pasar desapercibido para la mayoría. No solo la concepción de los espacios interiores me parece rabiosamente moderna sino que su construcción tiene elementos que lo hacen excepcional. Las paredes están constituidas de bloques ciclópeos de caliza con pesos de hasta 10 Tm. Estos bloques forman el núcleo de las paredes que están recubiertas por paneles de granito de Asuán (a 700 km) . En la foto se puede observar la peculiar técnica constructiva que empleaban los egipcios. Si se observa la esquina que une las dos paredes de la foto se puede deducir qu los bloques de granito se colocaron en posición simplemente desbastados y que el acabado y alisado de los mismos se hacía in situ de ahí que varios bloques pertenezcan al mismo tiempo a ambas paredes.

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt.
As of November 2008, sources cite either 118 or 138 as the number of identified Egyptian pyramids.[1][2] Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.[3][4][5]
The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser (constructed 2630 BC–2611 BC) which was built during the third dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.[6]
The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built.[7] The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.

Historical development
The Mastabat al-Fir’aun at Saqqara
By the time of the Early Dynastic Period, those with sufficient means were buried in bench-like structures known as mastabas.[8][9]
The second historically-documented Egyptian pyramid is attributed to the architect Imhotep, who planned what Egyptologists believe to be a tomb for the pharaoh Djoser. Imhotep is credited with being the first to conceive the notion of stacking mastabas on top of each other, creating an edifice composed of a number of "steps" that decreased in size towards its apex. The result was the Pyramid of Djoser, which was designed to serve as a gigantic stairway by which the soul of the deceased pharaoh could ascend to the heavens. Such was the importance of Imhotep's achievement that he was deified by later Egyptians.[10]
The most prolific pyramid-building phase coincided with the greatest degree of absolutist rule. It was during this time that the most famous pyramids, the Giza pyramid complex, were built. Over time, as authority became less centralized, the ability and willingness to harness the resources required for construction on a massive scale decreased, and later pyramids were smaller, less well-built and often hastily constructed.
Long after the end of Egypt's own pyramid-building period, a burst of pyramid-building occurred in what is present-day Sudan, after much of Egypt came under the rule of the kings of Napata. While Napatan rule was brief, ending in 661 BC, Egyptian culture made an indelible impression, and during the later Kingdom of Meroë (approximately in the period between 300 BCE – 300 CE), this flowered into a full-blown pyramid-building revival, which saw more than two hundred Egyptian-inspired indigenous royal pyramid-tombs constructed in the vicinity of the kingdom's capital cities.
Al-Aziz Uthman (1171–1198) tried to destroy the Giza pyramid complex. He gave up after damaging the Pyramid of Menkaure because the task proved too huge.[11]
Pyramid symbolism
Diagram of the interior structures of the Great Pyramid. The inner line indicates the pyramid's present profile, the outer line indicates the original profile.
The shape of Egyptian pyramids is thought to represent the primordial mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth was created. The shape of a pyramid is thought to be representative of the descending rays of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with polished, highly reflective white limestone, in order to give them a brilliant appearance when viewed from a distance. Pyramids were often also named in ways that referred to solar luminescence. For example, the formal name of the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur was The Southern Shining Pyramid, and that of Senwosret at el-Lahun was Senwosret is Shining.
While it is generally agreed that pyramids were burial monuments, there is continued disagreement on the particular theological principles that might have given rise to them. One suggestion is that they were designed as a type of "resurrection machine."[12]
The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens. One of the narrow shafts that extend from the main burial chamber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky. This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the deceased pharaoh's soul directly into the abode of the gods.[12]
All Egyptian pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which, as the site of the setting sun, was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology.[13]
Number and location of pyramids
In 1842, Karl Richard Lepsius produced the first modern list of pyramids – see Lepsius list of pyramids – in which he counted 67. A great many more have since been discovered. As of November 2008, 118 Egyptian pyramids have been identified.[3]
The location of Pyramid 29, which Lepsius called the "Headless Pyramid", was lost for a second time when the structure was buried by desert sands subsequent to Lepsius' survey. It was found again only during an archaeological dig conducted in 2008.[14]
Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation or buried by desert sands. If visible at all, they may appear as little more than mounds of rubble. As a consequence, archaeologists are continuing to identify and study previously unknown pyramid structures.
The most recent pyramid to be discovered was that of Sesheshet at Saqqara, mother of the Sixth Dynasty pharaoh Teti. The discovery was announced by Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, on 11 November 2008.[4][15]
All of Egypt's pyramids, except the small Third Dynasty pyramid of Zawyet el-Amwat (or Zawyet el-Mayitin), are sited on the west bank of the Nile, and most are grouped together in a number of pyramid fields. The most important of these are listed geographically, from north to south, below.
Abu Rawash
Main article: Abu Rawash
The largely destroyed Pyramid of Djedefre
Abu Rawash is the site of Egypt's most northerly pyramid (other than the ruins of Lepsius pyramid number one)[5]— the mostly ruined Pyramid of Djedefre, son and successor of Khufu. Originally it was thought that this pyramid had never been completed, but the current archaeological consensus is that not only was it completed, but that it was originally about the same size as the Pyramid of Menkaure, which would have placed it among the half-dozen or so largest pyramids in Egypt.
Its location adjacent to a major crossroads made it an easy source of stone. Quarrying – which began in Roman times – has left little apart from about 15 courses of stone superimposed upon the natural hillock that formed part of the pyramid's core. A small adjacent satellite pyramid is in a better state of preservation.
Giza
Main article: Giza pyramid complex
Map of Giza pyramid complex.
Aerial view of Giza pyramid complex
Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the "Great Pyramid" and the "Pyramid of Cheops"); the somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren); the relatively modest-sized Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mykerinus), along with a number of smaller satellite edifices known as "Queen's pyramids"; and the Great Sphinx of Giza.
Of the three, only Khafre's pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing, near its apex. This pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu pyramid by virtue of its more elevated location, and the steeper angle of inclination of its construction – it is, in fact, smaller in both height and volume.
The Giza pyramid complex has been a popular tourist destination since antiquity, and was popularized in Hellenistic times when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today it is the only one of those wonders still in existence.
Zawyet el-Aryan
See also: Zawyet el'Aryan
This site, halfway between Giza and Abu Sir, is the location for two unfinished Old Kingdom pyramids. The northern structure's owner is believed to be pharaoh Nebka, while the southern structure, known as the Layer Pyramid, may be attributable to the Third Dynasty pharaoh Khaba, a close successor of Sekhemkhet. If this attribution is correct, Khaba's short reign could explain the seemingly unfinished state of this step pyramid. Today it stands around 17 m (56 ft) high; had it been completed, it is likely to have exceeded 40 m (130 ft).
Abu Sir
Main article: Abusir
The Pyramid of Sahure at Abu Sir, viewed from the pyramid's causeway.
There are a total of fourteen pyramids at this site, which served as the main royal necropolis during the Fifth Dynasty. The quality of construction of the Abu Sir pyramids is inferior to those of the Fourth Dynasty – perhaps signaling a decrease in royal power or a less vibrant economy. They are smaller than their predecessors, and are built of low-quality local limestone.
The three major pyramids are those of Niuserre, which is also the best preserved, Neferirkare Kakai and Sahure. The site is also home to the incomplete Pyramid of Neferefre. Most of the major pyramids at Abu Sir were built similar construction techniques, comprising a rubble core surrounded by steps of mud bricks with a limestone outer casing. The largest of these 5th-Dynasty pyramids, the Pyramid of Neferirkare Kakai, is believed to have been built originally as a step pyramid some 70 m (230 ft) high and then later transformed into a "true" pyramid by having its steps filled in with loose masonry.
Saqqara
Main article: Saqqara
The Pyramid of Djoser
Major pyramids located here include the Pyramid of Djoser – generally identified as the world's oldest substantial monumental structure to be built of dressed stone – the Pyramid of Userkaf, the Pyramid of Teti and the Pyramid of Merikare, dating to the First Intermediate Period of Egypt. Also at Saqqara is the Pyramid of Unas, which retains a pyramid causeway that is one of the best-preserved in Egypt. Together with the pyramid of Userkaf, this pyramid was the subject of one of the earliest known restoration attempts, conducted by Khaemweset, a son of Ramesses II.[16] Saqqara is also the location of the incomplete step pyramid of Djoser's successor Sekhemkhet known as the Buried Pyramid. Archaeologists believe that had this pyramid been completed, it would have been larger than Djoser's.
South of the main pyramid field at Saqqara is a second collection of later, smaller pyramids, including those of Pepi I, Isesi, Merenre, Pepi II and Ibi. Most of these are in a poor state of preservation.
The Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Shepseskaf either did not share an interest in, or have the capacity to undertake pyramid construction like his predecessors. His tomb, which is also sited at south Saqqara, was instead built as an unusually large mastaba and offering temple complex. It is commonly known as the Mastabat al-Fir’aun.[17]
A previously unknown pyramid was discovered at north Saqqara in late 2008. Believed to be the tomb of Teti's mother, it currently stands approximately 5 m (16 ft) high, although the original height was closer to 14 m (46 ft).
Dahshur
Main article: Dahshur
Sneferu's Red Pyramid
This area is arguably the most important pyramid field in Egypt outside Giza and Saqqara, although until 1996 the site was inaccessible due to its location within a military base, and was relatively unknown outside archaeological circles.
The southern Pyramid of Sneferu, commonly known as the Bent Pyramid, is believed to be the first Egyptian pyramid intended by its builders to be a "true" smooth-sided pyramid from the outset; the earlier pyramid at Meidum had smooth sides in its finished state – but it was conceived and built as a step pyramid, before having its steps filled in and concealed beneath a smooth outer casing of dressed stone.
As a true smooth-sided structure, the Bent Pyramid was only a partial success – albeit a unique, visually imposing one; it is also the only major Egyptian pyramid to retain a significant proportion of its original smooth outer limestone casing intact. As such it serves as the best contemporary example of how the ancient Egyptians intended their pyramids to look.
Several kilometeres to the north of the Bent Pyramid is the last – and most successful – of the three pyramids constructed during the reign of Sneferu; the Red Pyramid is the world's first successfully completed smooth-sided pyramid. The structure is also the third largest pyramid in Egypt – after the pyramids of Khufu and Khafra at Giza.
Also at Dahshur is the pyramid known as the Pyramid of Amenemhat III, as well as a number of small, mostly ruined subsidiary pyramids.
Mazghuna
Main article: Mazghuna
Located to the south of Dahshur, several mudbrick pyramids were built in this area in the late Middle Kingdom, perhaps for Amenemhat IV and Sobekneferu.
Lisht
Main article: el-Lisht
The pyramid of Amenemhet I at Lisht
Two major pyramids are known to have been built at Lisht – those of Amenemhat I and his son, Senusret I. The latter is surrounded by the ruins of ten smaller subsidiary pyramids. One of these subsidiary pyramids is known to be that of Amenemhat's cousin, Khaba II.[18] The site which is in the vicinity of the oasis of the Faiyum, midway between Dahshur and Meidum, and about 100 kilometres south of Cairo, is believed to be in the vicinity of the ancient city of Itjtawy (the precise location of which remains unknown), which served as the capital of Egypt during the Twelfth Dynasty.
Meidum
Main article: Meidum
The pyramid at Meidum
The pyramid at Meidum is one of three constructed during the reign of Sneferu, and is believed by some to have been started by that pharaoh's father and predecessor, Huni. However, that attribution is uncertain, as no record of Huni's name has been found at the site.
It was constructed as a step pyramid, and then later converted into the first "true" smooth-sided pyramid when the steps were filled in, and an outer casing added.
The pyramid suffered several catastrophic collapses in ancient and medieval times; medieval Arab writers described it as having seven steps – although today only the three uppermost of these remain, giving the structure its odd, tower-like appearance. The hill on which the pyramid is situated is not a natural landscape feature – it is the small mountain of debris created when the lower courses and outer casing of the pyramid gave way.
Hawara
Main article: Hawara
The Pyramid of Amenemhet III at Hawarra
Amenemhat III was the last powerful ruler of the Twelfth Dynasty, and the pyramid he built at Hawarra, near the Faiyum, is believed to post-date the so-called "Black Pyramid" built by the same ruler at Dahshur. It is the Hawarra pyramid that is believed to have been Amenemhet's final resting place.
el-Lahun
Main article: el-Lahun
The Pyramid of Senusret II. The pyramid's natural limestone core is clearly visible as the yellow stratum at its base.
The pyramid of Senusret II at el-Lahun is the southernmost royal-tomb pyramid structure in Egypt. Its builders reduced the amount of work necessary to construct it by ingeniously using as its foundation and core a 12-meter-high natural limestone hill.
El-Kurru
Main article: El-Kurru
Pharaoh Piye's pyramid at El-Kurru
Piye, the first ruler of the Egyptian 25th dynasty, built a pyramid at El-Kurru. He was the first Egyptian pharaoh to be buried in a pyramid in centuries.
Nuri
Main article: Nuri
Egyptian Pharaoh Taharqa's pyramid at Nuri
Taharqa, a legitimate ruler and Pharaoh of Egypt, built his pyramid at Nuri. It was the largest in the area (North Sudan).
Construction dates
Drawing showing transportation of a colossus. The water poured in the path of the sledge, long dismissed by Egyptologists as ritual, but now confirmed as feasible, served to increase the stiffness of the sand, and likely reduced by 50% the force needed to move the statue.[19]

Construction techniques
Main article: Egyptian pyramid construction techniques
Constructing the pyramids involved moving huge quantities of stone. The quarried blocks were likely transported to the construction site by wooden sleds, with sand in front of the sled wetted to reduce friction. Droplets of water created bridges between the grains of sand, helping them stick together.[20]
As a consequence, I lost my health, honour and job. I did my first official complaint to The Parliamentary Ombudsman of Finland on 14.9.2004 concerning these issues. Later on, on 15.7.2005, I did a police investigation request that covers both the work bullying and the acts of police authorities.
Some criminal record entry has been wished for me. Furthermore, false information and false insinuations concerning me have been spread as a method of pressure and a method of deterrent so that I would not be able to advance the case. Apparently, the purpose of this has been to depress me mentally and to make other people participate in bullying and mental pressure.
My right to an effective remedy has been prevented. I am ended up hunted by the security authorities. Outsiders either do not have courage to interfere in incidents or on request they participate in them.
In its decision 14.4.2016, the Supreme Administrative Court of Finland has approved the destruction of my and my close ones' lives. I have the right to make an application against the Republic of Finland to the international courts.

November 18, 2010 - "Roles for Third Parties in Improving Implementation of EPA's and OSHA's Regulations on the Management of Low-Probability, High-Consequence Process Safety Risks" - Penn Program on Regulation, in conjunction with the Wharton Risk Management Center, hosted a conference regarding the usage of third party auditors in the enforcement of regulatory safety measures in high risk industries. Industries which experts call "Low-Probability, High-Consequence," such as nuclear reactors, oil refineries, or chemical processing plants, are specifically hoped to be improved by third party inspections safety. The conference brought together numerous participants from a variety of fields, including from government, industry, insurance, academia, and non-profit sectors. The conference consisted of a day-long discussion spread over three separate panels. Over the course of the conference, participants stressed the importance of implementing a third party system to effectively and thoroughly audit industry despite lack of adequate funds and resources. Other potential scenarios offered for enacting effective third party auditing included making sure that these third party auditors were completely independent from the industries they would be inspecting so as to eliminate bias or a conflict of interest. Another issue to consider is the question of whose authority would the third party auditors be under and what kind of enforcement power would they have to enforce industry change. One of the panel discussions brought up the potential linkage of third party audits with insurance companies so as to provide an incentive for industry to decrease safety risks in order to pay lower insurance premiums. Workshop participants included Isadore "Irv" Rosenthal, a Senior Research Fellow at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center; Howard Kunreuther, James G. Dinan Professor of Business and Public Policy at Wharton and Co-Director of the Wharton Risk Center; Laurie Miller, Senior Director of Environment and Process Safety at the American Chemistry Council; Erwann O.

Sometimes when I consider what
tremendous consequences come
from little things,
I am tempted to think there
are no little things.
--Bruce Barton
Correct me if I'm wrong. When I grew up it seems that consequences — cause and effect — not just the immediacy of gain and gratification were ingrained in day-to-day lessons; in experience.
Here's a case-in-point arising out the horrendous floods that have bedevilled SE Australia for months and months. As a child I knew where my milk came from: Molly, the cow. I was surrounded by dairy cows. When the notion of bulk tankers to replace 10 gallon milk cans was mooted it caused an uproar. Sure, those cans when full of precious cow juice were heavy. But they were picked up in a new pink truck owned by the neighbour's brother. This was a small, close-knit community where everyone supported everyone else. A bulk tanker would be easier, more profitable. But not for the man with the pink truck.
We lived on a ridge. That's because, in a loop of a river prone to flooding especially when rain and a king tide coincided, the ridges were that which remained high and dry. Of course, when the river did break out of its banks the pink truck couldn't collect the milk. Nor could a bulk tanker. We hear this flood season of hundreds of thousands of litres of milk running to waste because those bulk tankers are no better at getting through floods than they were way back then. What was different then was that this little, tight community had a flood boat; a flat bottomed jobby that could negotiate the flooded farms and just push up onto a flooded slope to drop off supplies AND backload those full milk cans where a truck could get them to the plant for processing. Could they do that with bulk vats? No! Now we see the consequences of that short-sighted focus on the immediacy of a biased gain for one and a loss for another; a powerless other. Shame. Now everyone loses.
Here's another consequence. Remember that bold, early flowering berry? The consequence of doing that thing — planting, maintaining, nurturing — is here to see. The flowers, pollinated against all odds by our likewise nurtured bees, will soon enough stain my fingers and adorn my table. There it is again— cause and effect — not just the immediacy of gain and gratification; the long game, a vision and a reward. Which would you choose?
The hamstersquid is the result of a inter-university game of consequences.

On 27th February 2010 the 'executive committee' of conscience: taxes for peace not war held a discussion at the Goschka Macuga installation, 'The Nature of the Beast', at the Whitechapel Art Gallery. The room includes the famous tapestry replica of 'Guernica' by Picasso, reminding us of the terrible consequences of war.
Location: Whitechapel Art Gallery, east London, UK
Stupid camera. Stupid alarm. Stupid "project". Yet I'm still getting up and doing it, I suppose to prove to myself that if I say I will do something that I will something, regardless if there is no consequence or benefit. Call it honor, integrity, reliability, commitment -- right about then, at 2:47am, it felt stupid.

The Braga cathedral is the most ancient of all cathedrals in Portugal.
As consequence of the importance the city of Braga had already to the Romans (known as Bracara Augusta) and all the following invading people like the Visigoths and Muslims, this cathedral was always a main worship place. Because of this it was heavily remodelled in 1093, when this region was already Christian territory again, to fit it to the pilgrimage spirit of the epoch, much by influence of the nearby Santiago de Compostela.
As usual, this place shows besides the Romanesque architecture of the Medieval Ages, many others which were added through times, namely in the 15th and 18th century.
The main façade was profoundly changed in the 15th century fitting it into the Gothic Stile, and the inside in the 18th filling it with the splendour and wealth of the Baroque. Still, the inside was much affected in the recoveries of the 1930’s and 50’s when the architects and archaeologists decided to revive the Romanic and Medieval spirit of it. Much of its wealth was taken away to bring the simplicity of the Romanesque Stile but depriving us from the wealth of the Baroque… But it still is a magnificent place to visit filled with a beautiful atmosphere.
Still, this place has much more to show than just the church. A museum with religious treasures, as well an absolutely incredible organ and the reunion place of the Bishops with complex carved wood decoration are a must. All this are inside the Church complex allowing us to visit at the same time the older parts of the Church and other side chapels.
Police Genk/As (Belgium) came by - as we were a bit too over-enthusiastic - wandering around an abandoned orphanage; somewhat too visible I suppose. But they where pretty relaxed and let us hang loose :-)
Arsalan Serajian is still missing in New Mexico. Last seen in Truth or Consequences, NM, at the Super 8 Motel on October 7th, his car was found in Silver City at the Gila Cliff Dwellings. The VIN numbers had been removed or covered, license plate taken, keys on the floor and all new new camping equipment and personal items still in it. It was abandoned two weeks before anyone reported it. There are clear and obvious signs of foul play. There is also another Gila resident who went missing 4 weeks afterwards whose car was found parked in the same area. Locating these two is a priority.
These photos were favorites from other Flickr photographers that show the area near Truth or Consequences where he was last seen.

Mostar (Мостар) is a city and municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the center of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation. Mostar is situated on the Neretva river and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after its Old Bridge (Stari most) and the towers on its sides, "the bridge keepers" (natively: mostari).Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia following Referendum held in February 1992. The Yugoslav National Army (Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija - JNA) first bombarded City of Mostar on April 3rd, 1992 and over the following weeks, gradually established control over large portions of the City. The siege lasted for three months.The Yugoslav National Army (JNA) shelling forced tens of thousands from their homes, and resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,600 people. Amongst the destroyed historic monuments were the Karadžoz-bey mosque, Roznamed-ij-Ibrahim-efendija mosque and twelve other mosques, a Franciscan monastery, the Catholic cathedral and the bishop's palace, with a library of 50,000 books, as well as secular institutions.By June 12th 1992, the ABIH (4th Corps of Army of Bosnia Herzegovina) and HVO (Croatian Military Council supported by HOS - Hrvatske Obrambene Snage/Croatian Defence Forces) amassed enough weaponry and manpower to force the JNA troops out of Mostar.
Saborna Crkva (Orthodox Cathedral Church) largest and most beautiful Orthodox Church in Bosnia Herzegovina, built between 1863-1873, was destroyed on the night of June, 15, 1992. After the Yugoslav National Army were driven out by the Bosnian-Croat forces, the Croatian army (HVO) clashed with Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH). The campaign reduced the city to rubble - including the famous 400-year-old Stari Most Old Bridge, and resulted in the division of the city of Mostar into West Mostar (administered by Croats) and East Mostar (adminsitered by Bosniaks).
The consequences of the pogrom Barbara Oberrauch, Magdalena Plainer
Already in the 1930s, Tyrolean Jews had emigrated due to rising anti-Semitism, most of all to Palestine or to the USA. The Pogrom Night meant a turning point in the history of the Jewish Community in Tyrol and severely shook the already very small Jewish community in Innsbruck, the Jewish community largely dissolved. The board members were no longer alive, the rabbi went to Vienna, the interior of the synagogue was destroyed.
The marginalization of the Jewish population by exclusion from public life and deprivation of their livelihood has now been significantly tightened.
As a result of the terrible events many Jews drew the consequences. An incomplete list of the Federal Police Directorate Innsbruck shows that only 26 Jews from Innsbruck left Tyrol in November or December 1938 or, as it was official, came to Vienna to deregister. By the end of 1938, 22 Polish and stateless Jews had been deported. On 19 November, the Gestapo ordered the emigration and shortly thereafter has a ban of staying disposed. The surviving Tyrolean Jews were given the ultimatum to leave their homes by 15 March 1939 at the latest.
Gauleiter Hofer came very close to his goal of making Tyrol free of Jews. He managed to expel the local Jewish population and send them to Vienna, from where they were deported to the ghettos and death camps. However, occasionally Jewish refugees from Eastern Austria, Germany and Eastern Europe came to Tyrol to find refuge there.

Um nicht zu vergessen, dass Vorurteile, Hass und Unbesonnenheit zu einer grausamen Spirale der Gewalt führen können, wurde dieses Mahnmal 1997 errichtet.
...um nicht zu verschweigen, dass in der Nacht vom 9. zum 10. November 1938, "Reichskristallnacht" - Novemberpogrom, jüdische Mitbürger in Innsbruck ermordert wurden und ihnen viele Kinder, Frauen und Männer in den Tod folgen mussten...
Die Folgen des Pogroms Barbara Oberrauch, Magdalena Plainer
Bereits in den 1930er Jahren waren Tiroler Juden und Jüdinnen aufgrund des steigenden Antisemitismus ausgewandert, v.a. nach Palästina oder in die USA. Die Pogromnacht bedeutete einen Wendepunkt in der Geschichte der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde in Tirol und erschütterte die ohnehin sehr kleine jüdische Gemeinde in Innsbruck schwer, die Kultusgemeinde löste sich weitgehend auf. Die Vorstandsmitglieder waren nicht mehr am Leben, der Rabbi ging nach Wien, das Innere der Synagoge war zerstört.
Die Ausgrenzung der jüdischen Bevölkerung durch Ausschluss aus dem öffentlichen Leben und Entziehung ihrer Existenzgrundlage wurde nun wesentlich verschärft.
Infolge der entsetzlichen Geschehnisse zogen viele Juden und Jüdinnen die Konsequenzen. Aus einer nicht vollständigen Liste der Bundespolizeidirektion Innsbruck geht hervor, dass allein 26 Juden aus Innsbruck noch im November oder Dezember 1938 Tirol verließen oder, wie es amtlich hieß, nach Wien zur Abmeldung gelangten. Bis Jahresende 1938 wurden auch 22 polnische und staatenlose Juden abgeschoben. Am 19. November hatte die Gestapo die Auswanderung angeordnet und kurz darauf ein Aufenthaltsverbot verfügt. Den noch verbliebenen Tiroler Juden und Jüdinnen stellten die NS-Behröden das Ultimatum, bis spätestens 15. März 1939 ihre Heimat zu verlassen.
Seinem Ziel, Tirol judenfrei zu machen, kam Gauleiter Hofer sehr nahe. Es gelang ihm, die heimische jüdische Bevölkerung zu vertreiben und nach Wien zu verschicken, von wo aus sie in die Ghettos und Todeslager deportiert wurden. Allerdings gelangten immer wieder vereinzelt jüdische Flüchtlinge aus Ostösterreich, Deutschland und Osteuropa nach Tirol, um dort Unterschlupf zu finden.
