Rudolf Gomperz was a pioneer in establishing St. Anton as a world-renowned ski and tourist destination. Although of Protestant faith, Gomperz was deported on May 20, 1942, to Minsk to the camp Maly Trostinec due to his Jewish ancestry and was later shot there. After 20 years of work by local historian Hans Thöni, the community of St. Anton erected a memorial for Gomperz in the spring of 1995 in the holiday park of the ski and homeland museum, designed by sculptor Engelbert Gitterle. Three rock formations made of Wachauer marble form a semicircle, completed by a flat stone with the birth dates. Priest Bruno Decristoforo consecrated the memorial on November 5, 1995.
