Gedenkstein Geschändete Thorarollen

This memorial was erected on June 30, 1991, on the grounds of the New Jewish Cemetery at the Central Cemetery, Gate 4. The memorial was designed by the stonecutting workshop Schreiber, which is directly located on the Jewish cemetery. The form of the memorial is based on an opened and at several points destroyed Torah scroll. The sponsor of the memorial was the Chewra Kadischa of IKG Vienna. In an area enclosed by a chain, remnants of Torah scrolls are buried, which were destroyed by National Socialists during the November Pogrom of 1938.
