Memorial Plaque for Kaspar Grassmair, Alois Schatz, Josef and Marianne Feichtner, Josef Sieberer and Vinzenz Pedevilla at the War Memorial Thaur

On initiative of the chronicler Josef Bertsch, inspired by the artist Franz Wassermann, the community of Thaur erected a memorial plaque for their victims of National Socialism: Kaspar Grassmair and Josef Sieberer were deported on 20.3.1941 from the Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Hall to the killing facility Hartheim near Linz. The same fate befell Alois Schatz. Josef and Marianne Feichtner were not victims of the NS euthanasia program. Vinzenz Pedevilla, a cooperator in Thaur, died after his imprisonment due to an insult to Hitler on 28.1.1943. On suggestion of parish priest Paul Haider, the memorial plaque was mounted on the war memorial. He consecrated it on All Souls' Day in 2006.
