Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Vienna. Emigration, Retraining, Social Care: 2.V.1938 - 31.VII. 1939.

A review of the activities of Vienna’s central Jewish community administration in regard to assisting Austrian Jews emigrate to safety following the Nazi Anschluss. One part of that effort related to having the financial resources available to extend to those who could not afford exit fees and secondly, providing professional retraining so as to stand a better chance to be granted a visa to a country that would accept Jewish emigres. Meanwhile social and medical care of the young, the old and those not capable of emigrating also continued. “Help the Kultusgemeinde Vienna solving [sic] entirely the problem of emigration! … Open the doors of Palestine! … Do not refuse your generous help!” A scarce fund-raising publication, filled with detailed information relating to the final tragic days of the Jews of Vienna.
