Vienna (OTS) – “Waltraud Häupl was proof of how closely the work on collective memory is linked to the fate and personal commitment of individuals,” says City Councilor for Culture and Science Veronica Kaup-Hasler. “With her research, the former teacher was significantly involved in the crimes of the Nazi regime at Spiegelgrund on Baumgartnerhöhe in Vienna, to which her sister also fell victim, and to bring perpetrators like Heinrich Gross to justice in the first place.Waltraud Häupl gave the murdered and tortured children a name and made a decisive contribution to To document her memory for posterity. As this tireless admonisher in the service of society, she will be missed in Austria in the future.”
In 1999, Waltraud Häupl received the Gold Medal of Honor from the State of Vienna.
