Memorial for Helpers of Victims of the NS Regime

On 18 May 1999, a metal sculpture was unveiled in the district of Leopoldstadt as a respectful memorial to helpers of victims of the NS regime. The monument was donated by the cultural association "Freunde des Karmeliterviertels." The design is by Barbara Asimus and Berndt Anwander. The erection of the memorial column dates back to an initiative by district council members of the ÖVP in 1995, which was subsequently supported by all factions in the district council. Noteworthy is the fact that at the time of the monument's erection for helpers of victims in Leopoldstadt, from where the National Socialists deported thousands of Jews to extermination camps, there were hardly any signs of remembrance for the victims themselves.
