The sisters Elisabeth and Martha Nehab were arrested at the border on the run from Berlin in 1942 and imprisoned in St. Gallenkirch. In order to avoid deportation to a concentration camp, they hanged themselves on 24.9.1942 in the parish detention („Kiecha“) of St. Gallenkirch. Pastor Eberhard Amann had installed a memorial plaque for the two long nameless women in St. Gallenkirch in the 1990s, but had it removed again in 2019, shortly before his death. The plaque came into the possession of the Heimatmuseum Schruns from his estate.
