It commemorates nine Jewish women and men who managed to survive in hiding in Vienna until 1945, but who were murdered by members of the SS only a few hours before their liberation by the Red Army. At the site of the massacre in Förstergasse 7, a commemorative plaque exists. The mortal remains of the victims are buried at the location of the memorial. The memorial consists of a wall made of large stones, on eight of these stones names or the general dedication are engraved.
