When Hitler marched into Austria in March 1938, the country's
Jewish population numbered nearly 200,000. Those Jews who were able
to find refuge in neutral countries were safe; those who fled to
countries subsequently overrun by the Nazis were eventually hunted
down. Between 1938 and 1945, more than 50,000 Austrian Jews were
deported; no more than 2,000 returned. The estimate of Austrian
Jews caught by the Nazis in neighboring countries is 17,000.
Therefore, more than one-third of Austria's Jewish population were
killed during this period. After extensive research of the records
at the various documentation centers and using primary as well as
secondary sources, Schneider relates how Jews lived in Austria
until either flight or deportation; she follows the transports to
their destination and, using the fate of family and friends as
examples, describes the experiences in the camps, as well as the
homecoming of the survivors. In the process, Schneider provides the
most detailed account available on the fate of exiles and victims
from Austria. She concludes with a complete list of all camp
survivors. A gripping historical record for all students of the
Holocaust and modern European history.
