Gedenktafel Widerstandskämpfer Stadtschlaining

In the area of the entrance to the rabbi's house (former synagogue) in Stadtschlaining there is a memorial plaque for the local resistance fighters. In Stadtschlaining, a communist resistance group organized itself under Stefan Ott. In May 1941, the illegal group was uncovered and the Gestapo carried out numerous arrests. The detainees were sentenced to prison terms, two members of the group did not survive their imprisonment. The leader of the group, Stefan Ott, managed to evade arrest by the Gestapo through escape and remained hidden with allies, relatives, and friends until the end of the war.
