Apr 4, 2022 at 15:06 comment added Hubert Schölnast @marquinho: Yes, this is the monument. I pass by it at least once a week. (I live in St. Pölten and when I arrive in Vienna at Wiener Westbahnhof, I pass this monument.)
Apr 4, 2022 at 14:42 comment added marquinho The other possibility is to read it as an apposition to a foregoing dative, but appended to "von 10000... Kindern". That would mean that the "sogenannt[e] „Kindertransport[e]”" would be a way of referring to the children themselves. IMHO an awkward expression, but conceivable.
Apr 4, 2022 at 14:42 comment added user6495 Unless this an Austrian German particularity, there is at least an "in" or "mit" missing. I can deduce what is meant but the grammar is wrong.
