Memorial Plaque for the Righteous Among the Nations

On April 19, 2001, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the façade of the Misrachi house at Judenplatz 8. It remembers those individuals who, from 1953 onwards, were awarded the title "Righteous Among the Nations" for their civil courage and assistance towards persecuted Jewish women and men during the National Socialist regime. The unveiling took place on the occasion of the Israeli Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jom haSho'a, in memory of the victims of the Shoah and the Jewish resistance. Speakers were the historian Erika Weinzierl, as well as the authors Elfriede Gerstl and Robert Schindel, survivors of the persecution.
