Namesake[]

Stolpersteine in Wels commemorating Elfriede Grünberg, her mother and her aunt

Elfriede Grünberg (1929 - 1942) was murdered by the Nazi regime for racist reasons, like her mother and her aunt. Her father Max was able to emigrate to Shanghai in 1939. On June 9, 1942 Elfriede Grünberg and her mother were deported from Vienna to the Maly Trostenets extermination camp. Six days later, Elfriede was probably killed in a gas van.
