On the Jewish cemetery in Mattersburg there is a grave for three Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers. These were discovered in 1956 during excavation work in the courtyard of a house in Schattendorf. The Jewish Community of Vienna had the bodies exhumed and reburied on the Jewish cemetery in Mattersburg. It is assumed that these individuals died in March 1945, as part of the "evacuation" of the so-called Southeast Wall camps, due to privation and exhaustion, and were simultaneously buried at the place of death.
