Gedenktafel Hingerichtete der NS-Justiz

The memorial plaque remembers those people who were executed by the Nazi justice system. The plaque is located in grave group 40 at the central cemetery in Simmering. It is a memorial plaque mounted on stone bases, made of black stone, which under a dedication lists the names of 49 individuals. Its creation is the initiative of the resistance fighter Käthe Sasso and was implemented by the Federal Chancellery. The unveiling took place on 27 October 2015, 70 years after the end of the Nazi regime. In grave group 40 are the pit graves in which the executed people were buried. After 1945, these graves were transformed into a memorial site for victims of the Nazi regime by various memorials. The plaque also names people who were not buried in grave group 40, but were sentenced and executed outside of Vienna.
