Most of his victims were Hungarian Jews.{{cite web |url=https://www.jta.org/1951/09/25/archive/nikolaus-schorn-63-was-convicted-today-of-the |title=News Brief |date=25 September 1951 |website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |access-date=10 November 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://www.forschenunderinnern-burgenland.at/index.php/donnerskirchen/der-zweite-donnerskirchen-prozess |title=Donnerskirchen.
