Memorial Plaque for Displaced Students and Teachers

On March 21, 2006, a memorial plaque was unveiled at Bundesgymnasium 9 (Wasagymnasium) in Wasagasse, 9th district, commemorating those 121 students and pupils as well as eight teachers who were excluded from the school, persecuted and murdered during the National Socialist regime. Additionally, the plaque remembers those 171 students and pupils who were assigned to the school on April 29, 1938. The installation of the plaque is the work of a team of committed teachers under the leadership of Renate Mercsanits and was the result of the interdisciplinary school project "Erinnerung". Within the framework of the project, the school engaged in a search for traces and researched the fates of the former students and teachers.
