Memorial Plaque for Josef and Anna Griesser at the Chapel of the Dead Stams

Josef Griesser suffered from depressions, his daughter Anna was intellectually impaired. On 10.12.1940, the two were deported by the Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Hall to the killing facility Schloss Hartheim near Linz. Hannes Weinberger lived in the Stamser Weiler Haslach in the house where Josef Griesser and his daughter once lived. He succeeded in getting the community to erect a memorial plaque for them. On 16.6.2014, the priest of Stams, Father Michael Falkner, inaugurated the memorial plaque. A month later, an acid attack damaged the plaque. Hannes Weinberger repaired it.
