Museum Judenplatz

On 25 October 2000 Museum Judenplatz was opened and the memorial to victims of the Shoah unveiled to create a unique combined place of memorial and commemoration.  Museum Judenplatz is a branch of the Jewish Museum Vienna. It contains the remains of the synagogue destroyed in 1420/21 and an exhibition on the medieval Jewish ghetto and Jewish life in the Middle Ages. One room in the museum is devoted to Shoah documentation. The names of the 65,000 Austrian Jews exterminated by the Nazis can be consulted in a database provided by the Documentation Archive of Austrian Resistance.
