Roma girls

No right to survive

This group of victims is very difficult to research; the records are extremely sparse, unlike in Neudörfl, where there are no registration slips or baptismal entries. The same is true for the locations of “gypsy camps” in Wiener Neustadt. Many places are mentioned, but there is nothing tangible. An elderly couple assured us credibly that there had once been such a camp in the area of Zehnergürtel / Dreipappelstraße.

The only information we found on NS victims from the Roma and Sinti group came from the victim database of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Of the nine victims listed under the residence “Wiener Neustadt,” we selected three girls as representatives of this victim group, and we want to remember these victims with the Stolpersteine.

Here are the Auschwitz records:

Rosa Amberger, born on 13 March 1939 in Wiener Neustadt, no occupation, admitted to the gypsy camp on 28 January 1944, prisoner number Z-9974.

Maria Horvath, born on 4 October 1938 in Wiener Neustadt, gypsy camp, prisoner number Z-6467, died on 26 July 1943.

Katharine Karoly, born in 1934 in Wiener Neustadt, admitted to the gypsy camp on 31 March 1943, prisoner number Z-6451, died on 4 February 1944.
