In the presence of Supervisory Board Chairman Irene Szimak, Danny Rainer of the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation, Israeli Ambassador Talya Lador-Fresher, State Councillor Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig and Peter-Michael Lingens, son of the resistance fighters Ella and Kurt Lingens and many other guests, a plaque was attached to the former Schweizerhaus on the Motesiczky family’s estate at Hinterbrühl in memory of Karl Motesiczky.
