Memorial Plaque for Heinz Mayer at Waldhüttl Innsbruck

Heinz Mayer, a member of a monarchist-oriented resistance group, was considered a "Halbjude" under the Nuremberg Racial Laws, although he was a Catholic. He survived imprisonment and camp detention and was co-founder and chairman of the "Bund der Opfer des politischen Freiheitskampfes" in Tirol. Helmut Muigg, chairman of the "Bund Sozialdemokratischer FreiheitskämpferInnen," and Jussuf Windischer, who operates a social project of the Vinzenzgemeinschaft together with his wife Veronika in Waldhüttl, initiated the creation of a memorial plaque. In Waldhüttl, Mayer and the resistance members concealed weapons and held meetings. On September 1, 2014, Gerta Mayer, the widow of Heinz Mayer, unveiled the memorial plaque.
