Deutsch Schützen massacre
The Deutsch Schützen massacre was a 1945 mass killing of approximately 60 Jewish forced laborers in Deutsch Schützen-Eisenberg in Austria. At the old church, Martinskirche, in the farmland on the west side of Deutsch Schützen, a plaque is erected on the exterior of the building memorializing those murdered in the massacre.The incident occurred on 29 March 1945.
The victims' remains were found in 1995 by the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien. In 2008, Viennese political science student Andreas Forster discovered the name of Adolf Storms in records of the incident. Forster's professor Walter Manoschek gathered evidence and conducted a videotaped interview with Storms. In 2009, then 90-year-old Storms was indicted for his alleged involvement in the killings.
Storms died on June 28, 2010 at the age of 90.
