Memorial plaque for László Blum at Kreuzstadl in Rechnitz

On the south-western side of the Kreuzstadl in Rechnitz, there is a marble plaque commemorating László Blum, installed by his nephew. László Blum, born in 1923, was arrested after the Nazi invasion in March 1944 due to his Jewish heritage and deported as a forced labourer to the camp Bucsú near the today's Burgenland-Hungarian border for work on the Southeast Wall. During the evacuation of the camp, a group of about 180 to 200 sick and weakened victims was separated at the train station in Rechnitz and murdered in the night of 24 to 25 March 1945 at the Kreuzstadl in Rechnitz. Among the victims was also László Blum.
