On the village cemetery of St. Margarethen there is a memorial for murdered Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers and possibly Catholic Polish forced laborers. These individuals were murdered on March 30, 1945, at the quarry and at the Meierhof near St. Margarethen. The deceased were exhumed in 1945 at the order of the Soviet occupation forces and buried on the cemetery in St. Margarethen. In 1961, Samu Kelemer, then tenant of the local Meierhof and member of the IKG Wien, arranged for the erection of a memorial stone at the grave in St. Margarethen.
