Ilse Brüll fled with her cousin Inge in April 1939 in a children's transport to Holland, yet the SS arrested Ilse in the convent Eersel and murdered her on 3.9.1942 in the concentration camp Auschwitz. The educational scientist Peter Stöger initiated a memorial plaque for Ilse Brüll, formerly a student at the secondary school in Michael-Gaismair-Straße. On 28.4.2004, Inge Brüll and city councillor Christine Oppitz-Plörer (For Innsbruck) unveiled a bronze commemorative plaque. Esther Fritsch, president of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde for Tirol and Vorarlberg, criticized aside from the official ceremony the text of the plaque prepared by the city school office. The formulation "representing all those children of Innsbruck who became victims of this time" was rejected by Fritsch because the murder of Jewish children in the concentration camps was unique and the mention of National Socialism was avoided.
