Memorial Stone for Murdered Austrian Jews

The memorial stone for murdered Austrian Jews was erected in 1983 on the grounds of the former Aspang railway station in the 3rd district, embedded in the ground of a park area. It thematizes the former Aspang railway station as the center of the deportation of Vienna's Jews and Jewish women to the concentration and extermination camps of the NS regime. The plaque was funded by the Landstraße district representative body. It was initiated by Peter Buxbaum, a member of the League of Human Rights. Peter Buxbaum had been classified by the Nazis as a "Mischling 1. Grades" and had survived the concentration camps Auschwitz, Mauthausen, and the Mauthausen external camp Melk. The memorial was initiated by Milli Segal, who organized a traveling exhibition of the Maison d’Izieu memorial site on "The Children of Maison d’Izieu" (2010–2011), which was shown at various locations in Austria.
