Memorial Plaque Veza Canetti

On 6 May 2013, two commemorative plaques were unveiled on the façade of the house at Ferdinandstraße 29 in the district of Leopoldstadt, remembering the writer Veza Canetti. Canetti lived in this house until 1934 and fled in 1938 with her husband Elias Canetti from the Nazis to Great Britain, where she remained until her death. The installation of the commemorative plaque took place within the framework of the project "VEZALEBT – Veza Canetti, a late anniversary in Vienna. Art, Literature, Music, Science" and on the occasion of her 50th anniversary of death. The placement of the commemorative plaque was initiated by Gertrude Moser-Wagner in cooperation with the Theodor Kramer Society.
