Memorial Plaque for Teachers and Students of the Medical Faculty

The memorial plaque in the Arkadenhof of the University of Vienna commemorates those teachers and students of the Medical Faculty who were persecuted and murdered during the NS regime. The unveiling took place on 6 September 1998. It was designed by Günter Wolfsberger; it was initiated and funded by the Medical Faculty. The plaque was co-financed by the Austrian Society of Internal Medicine. Discussions between the Rectorate and the Medical Faculty regarding the inscription, the question of to whom the memorial should be dedicated, and the location caused delays in the erection of the plaque.
