Text entirely in English. Each chapter preceded by full-page illustrated tab.

Report issued by the Vienna Kultusgemeinde for the American Joint Distribution Committee. Divided into five chapter-categories: Emigration, Retraining, Foreign Currencies, Social Care, Financial Treatment. Between 1938 and 1941, expenditures of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee for swift Austrian-Jewish emigration amounted to close to $2 million. The funds were administrated via the official Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien (IKG) – the only Jewish organization permitted by the Nazis to function following the Anschluss. This most professionally produced report was prepared for the Joint, providing important economic and human statistics. Scarce. Not in WorldCat.
