Outside a Jeweler's Shop at 36 Taborstraße are three brass plaques set into the pavement as part of the Path of Remembrance through the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna.
In March 1938 Nazi Germany incorporated the Austrian Republic in what became known as the "Anschluss." Up to September 1939, the outbreak of WWII, Jews were able to emigrate from Austria but forfeited all their possessions under the German anti-Jewish legislation laws. Later Jews were sent to concentration camps in Poland and Russia and many were exterminated in the Holocaust. The Path of Remembrance is placed through Leopoldstadt, the old Jewish Quarter of Vienna.
The first reads:-
