The aryanization of the wineries that originally belonged to Paul Robitschek was the theme of the historical novel Wein des Vergessens in 2018 . In response to the publication of the novel, the Krems winemakers have announced a comprehensive scientific analysis of these aspects of their history. The former head of the documentation archive of the Austrian resistance , Brigitte Bailer-Galanda , was called in as a consultant for this purpose . In July 2019, a memorial plaque for Paul and Johanna Robitschek was unveiled at the Hiata hut at sand pit 13.
