Book order (only German version available)
The book "Vertrieben. Erinnerungen burgenländischer Juden und Jüdinnen" follows the paths of 33 Jewish time-witnesses from Burgenland and is conceived as a reading book and documentation of their life stories. The main part consists of interviews with those people from Burgenland who had to emigrate in 1938 after the Nazis took over power. Historical family photographs in private hands of those interviewed, documenting the lives of Jews from Burgenland before 1938 and their emigration after 1938, will supplement the interview texts. To complete the photo book, there will be an introductive article on the history of Jewish Burgenland culture and an article on the latest results of contemporary history research, above all on the year 1938 and on the dispossession of Jews from Burgenland.
