Memorial Plaque "Reason for Dismissal Non-Aryan" - Widholzhof

At the Friedrich-Engels-Hof in Ehamgasse 8, a memorial plaque for Ryfka Feuchtbaum and Toska Feuchtbaum was unveiled on September 22, 1999, as part of the project "Ground for Termination: 'Non-Aryans'". 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 Vienna municipal housing buildings 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 Buildings 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.

Ryfka Feuchtbaum (born December 17, 1892) lived with her daughter Toska (born April 8, 1935) at the Friedrich-Engels-Hof until her eviction and assignment to an apartment at Franz-Hochedlinger-Gasse 25 in the Leopoldstadt district. On May 12, 1942, both were deported to Izbica, where they were murdered.
