Mitholz - a village disappears

Stephan Rappo

The houses in Mitholz are beautifully situated in the Kandertal Valley – were it not for the rock face with the ammunition depot, where the army transported tons of bombs and munitions after the Second World War. Now the depot will be cleared in the coming years. Now the people must make way, leaving their homes and their homeland. A report about leaving – and arriving.
