At the Strindberghof in Strindberggasse 1, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on September 22, 1999, as part of the project "Ground for Termination: 'Non-Aryans'" in honor of Jewish tenants who had been expelled by the National Socialists from the municipal housing in 1938. The project "Ground for Termination: 'Non-Aryans'" was conducted 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 at 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 commemorative plaques at municipal housing buildings were unveiled.
