Franziska-Löw-Park (2)

The Vienna City Council Committee for Culture, Science and Sport named the park area between Nordbahnstraße and Straße Am Tabor in the 2nd district after Franziska Löw on 29 November 2016. In the following year, two park name plaques were erected, explaining the naming and commemorating Franziska Löw. The caregiver herself came from a Jewish family. After the National Socialists seized power, she was entrusted with the supervision of Jewish youth homes in Vienna. She tried to save as many children and young people as possible from deportation by granting them the identity of "half-Jews". She also supported hidden and concealed Jews ("U-boats"). She experienced the liberation from the NS regime in Vienna.
