Halbschuh

The building dates back to 1935 and initially served as a Jewish retirement home. At the end of April 1944, Slovak Jews Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzle reached Žilina after escaping the Auschwitz concentration camp. In the building, they submitted their "Auschwitz Report" to warn of the impending extermination of Hungarian Jews. - ifz-muenchen.de/heftarchiv/1996_1_1_vrba.pdf
