Memorial Plate in St. Anton "Right to Life"

With the "Euthanasia" program, the National Socialists began to segregate and kill those deemed hereditarily and mentally ill, physically disabled, as well as socially or "racially" undesirable from September 1939 onwards. In Vorarlberg, after 1939, the Poorhouses and Welfare Homes were searched and their residents were selected. Rosa Stüttler, who was mentally impaired, was in the Poorhouse Bartholomäberg, from where she was deported to "Valduna" Rankweil and then to Hall in Tirol. In 1942 she was brought to Niedernhart in Linz and immediately murdered. Since 2022, a memorial plaque in St. Anton remembers Rosa Stüttler, which was erected as part of the project "15 Places – 15 Stories".
