Laa an der Thaya is a town in Lower Austria, Austria near the Czech border. The population in 2001 was 6137. In June 2005, about 250 townspeople and 80 visitors from the US, Israel and Europe with historical family links to former Jewish citizens of Laa an der Thaya assembled with Mayor Fass to dedicate a memorial to the members of 33 Jewish families of Laa murdered by the SS in Auschwitz. This memorial is perhaps only the second official memorial dedicated to the memory of Austria's Jews.
