Memorial Plaque for the Victims of the NS Euthanasia in the Home "Santa Katharina" of the Barmherzigen Schwestern Ried im Oberinntal

On May 26, 1941, 23 women from the Care Home of the Barmherzigen Schwestern in Ried were brought to the Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Hall. On May 29, a bus picked up 29 people to take them from Hall to the Tötungsanstalt Hartheim near Linz, among them 21 women from the Care Home Ried. Primary physician Ernst Klebelsberg had kept two patients from Ried. However, a girl, whom the superior of Ried stated had „nothing wrong with her, except that she was ‚willful‘“, was not exempted from deportation. On the occasion of the 350th death anniversary of Saint Vincent de Paul, founder of the Barmherzigen Schwestern, a memorial service for the victims of NS euthanasia from the former Care Homes in Imst, Nassereith and Ried took place in the Motherhouse Church in Innsbruck on Allerseelen Day, 2010. Priest Klaus Egger blessed the three memorial plaques.
