ABSTRACT
On 25 October 2000 the Holocaust memorial for 65,000 murdered Austrian Jews was unveiled on the Judenplatz in central Vienna. Close to the monument a branch office of the Jewish Museum was opened, where it is possible to access the database of Austrian Holocaust victims, compiled by the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance. In the three years preceding their transport to Poland, these Jews had gradually been turned out of their apartments in Vienna and were billeted in so-called Jewish houses situated in Leopoldstadt, the second district of Vienna. Already in the spring of 1938 he united all authorities involved in the expulsion of the Jewish population of Vienna into a central authority, the already mentioned Central Authority for Jewish Emigration. After February 1941, after the failure of the so-called Madagascar plan, those Viennese Jews whose emigration had been impossible were deported to the conquered territories in the East.
