Since 2017, a memorial plaque for all victims of National Socialist tyranny, particularly the Romnija and Roma, has been attached to the war memorial in Buchschachen. The initiative is attributed to the community of Buchschachen and the associations Roma-Service and Roma-Pastoral. Until 1938, approximately 250 Romnija and Roma lived in the Roma settlement on the edge of the forest in the northeast of Buchschachen. Only six Romnija and Roma born in Buchschachen survived the NS terror. Two of them returned to Burgenland after their liberation.
