Stalin in Vienna / This commemorative plaque was unveiled in 1949 by Mayor / Theodor Körner on the occasion of the 70th birthday / of Josef Stalin (1879-1953). It / was meant to commemorate the only stay of the later / Soviet dictator in Vienna.
Today this commemorative plaque is meant to be a warning and / reminder of the millions of murdered and / suffering people of the Soviet Union, but / also of hundreds of Austrian victims / of Stalinism: these were, in 1933/34, after the elimin- / ation of the democratic parliament / and the establishment of the Ständestaat, political / refugees, and, in March 1938, above all Jewish / persecuted people who wanted to escape the / Nazi terror.
