Arthur Lanc (b. 1906 - d. unknown) was medical officer in Gmünd and responsible for the medical care for all Jewish forced laborers in the area of Gmünd. It wasn't allowed to administer medicine to these people. Together with the veterinarion, a Dr. Krisch, he set aside medicine for the Jewish forced laborers and helped three of them with fleeing from a camp in Gmünd. Because of this medical care, the Jews managed to survive the NS-Terror in a hideout in the attic of the tawery Weißensteiner in Hoheneich. For that reason Lanc was honored by Yad Vashem by getting the honorary title Righteous among the Nations together with his wife Maria Lanc.
