On the southwest side of the Kreuzstadl in Rechnitz, there is a marble plaque commemorating Géza and Árpád Vadász, who were murdered on the night of 24th to 25th March 1945 at the location. The twins Géza and Árpád Vadász were conscripted into the Hungarian military labor service in 1941 and deported towards Köszeg in late November 1944, where they were used as Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers for construction work on the Southeast Wall. During the evacuation of the camp, the twins were selected and murdered at the Kreuzstadl in Rechnitz. Géza's wife and his son Gábor never gave up the search for the man/father and actively participated in the search for the mass grave.
