2. Albert Reuss Remembering Stone

The stone is sited next to a Tree Memorial planted in January 2022 by the Association of Jewish Refugees, U.K. The Tree is in honor of the Cornwall Communities who took in 100 Jewish refugee children who were escaping the Nazis and the coming Holocaust.

in Vienna and fled to Britain in 1938 following the Anschluss, Adolf Hitler’s annexation of Austria to the German Reich. In the process, Reuss lost many members of his family, and the reputation he had built up as an artist in Vienna. He continued to work as an exiled artist, but his style changed dramatically, reflecting the trauma he had suffered. Several provincial galleries in England hold his work, most notably Newlyn Art Gallery in Cornwall, the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere (the Belvedere Gallery) and the Albertina both in Vienna, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in Israel.
