Memorial Plate "Reason for Dismissal: Non-Aryan" - Anton-Schrammel-Hof

At the Anton-Schrammel-Hof in the Kopalgasse 55-61, a memorial plaque for Jewish tenants who had been expelled by the National Socialists from the municipal housing in 1938 was unveiled on 22 September 1999 as part of the project "Kündigungsgrund: 'Nichtarier'". The project "Kündigungsgrund: 'Nichtarier'" was conducted by the Volkshochschule Simmering under the leadership of Walter Schuster. The research into the expulsion of Jewish tenants from the Viennese municipal housing under National Socialism in the years 1938 and 1939 was initiated by the archivist, librarian and employee at the Documentation Center of the Austrian Resistance, Herbert Exenberger, who had published the study "Kündigungsgrund Nichtarier. The Expulsion of Jewish Tenants from Viennese Municipal Housing in the Years 1938 and 1939" together with Johann Koß and Brigitte Ungar-Klein in 1996. In 1999, the exhibition "Kündigungsgrund Nichtarier" was shown at Bibliothek Wien 11. The project was concluded with a "historical walk" through Simmering, during which five memorial plaques at municipal buildings were unveiled. The Diamant family lived on door 12, stair 1. Bernhard Diamant (born 31 January 1909) was deported together with his sister Margarethe (born 23 June 1918) and his mother Bertha (born 5 December 1887) to the extermination camp Sobibór on 14 June 1942 and murdered there.
