A Jewish Hungarian György Krausz (born 1922, in Szombathely/Hungary; died 2000)[2] was a prisoner in a German work unit marching form Hungary to the Austrian-Hungary border forced to build the German "Südostwall" near the village Eberau in Burgenland.
Confronted with news of an upcoming march to the concentration camp Mauthausen, Krausz and his friend Cundra escaped into the forest to wait for the advancing Russians.
Pursued by German soldiers, Krausz and Cundra fled into the nearby village Eberau.
Krausz and Cundra stayed in Gisela's barn till the Red Army liberated the village.
Gisela Legath received the honorary title "righteous among the Nations" from the Yad Vashem remembrance authority in Jerusalem.
