Memorial plaque "Reason for Dismissal Non-Aryans" - Hof Rinnböckstraße

At the municipal residential building complex at Rinnböckstraße 21 in the district of Simmering, a memorial plaque for Paula Schein was probably unveiled in the year 2000 as part of the project "Ground for Termination: 'Non-Aryans'", which commemorates Paula Schein, who had been expelled by the National Socialists from the municipal housing in 1938. The project "Ground for Termination: 'Non-Aryans'" was carried out by the Volkshochschule Simmering under the direction of Walter Schuster. The research into the expulsion of Jewish tenants from the municipal housing in Vienna under National Socialism in the years 1938 and 1939 was initiated by the archivist, librarian, and employee of the Documentation Archive of the Austrian Resistance, Herbert Exenberger, who together with Johann Koß and Brigitte Ungar-Klein published the study "Ground for Termination: Non-Aryans. The Expulsion of Jewish Tenants from Vienna Municipal Housing in the Years 1938 and 1939" in 1996. In 1999, the exhibition "Ground for Termination: Non-Aryans" was shown at the Wien 11 Library. The project was concluded with a "historical walk" through Simmering, during which five memorial plaques at municipal housing buildings were unveiled. The memorial plaque for Paula Schein was added later, as the residential building complex was renovated in 1999.

Paula Schein lived at Rinnböckstraße 21/2/7 until she was evicted. After the forced relocation to an apartment at Pazmanitengasse 3 in the district of Leopoldstadt, she was deported to Theresienstadt on 22 July 1942 and transferred from there to the Auschwitz concentration camp on 15 May 1944, where she was murdered.
