Gedenktafel Synagoge Atzgersdorf
Gedenktafel Synagoge Atzgersdorf is a memorial plaque in Vienna, marking the former synagogue of the Israelitischer Bethausverein Minjan. The Jewish prayer association served Atzgersdorf and Liesing, while the synagogue stood directly beside this site. National Socialists and their helpers destroyed it on 10 November 1938 during the November pogroms.
The plaque was unveiled on 17 March 2005 after memorial efforts dating back to 1988. Disagreements over its wording led to its placement on neighbouring property, rather than the original building. Its inscription identifies the synagogue, records its destruction, and ends with the words “Never forget!” in English translation, alongside Hebrew text.
Manfred Wurm, historian Heide Liebhart and Holocaust witness Rudolf Gelbard attended the unveiling. The Hebrew inscription and the precise date, 10 November 1938, keep both the community and its destruction visible in Atzgersdorf.
