Inscription.
Nora And Lois Loeffler, of Vienna, Austria, saved Erich Glenn, a Wilmington resident who died in 1972. Glenn had been in a hospital during the German takeover of Austria. Afraid to return home after his release, he wandered the streets of Vienna before being taken in by Nora, a poor pianist and her husband, Lois, a worker in a salt factory. The Loefflers hid Mr. Glenn until his visa to the United States came through, allowing him to leave for the United States in 1938.
