A notable triangular tombstone was dedicated to Adolf Preis, the deputy president of the Jewish community in Carinthia, after his death in 1931, at the Jewish cemetery in Klagenfurt. Later, the names of five members of his family, who were murdered under National Socialism, were engraved on the back of the tomb: His wife Hermine Preis, their son Felix Preis, his wife Else, and their children Eva and Peter were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942. While Felix Preis died there in February 1944, his mother, his wife, and the two children were transferred to the extermination camp Auschwitz and were murdered there in the middle of 1944.
