Once upon a time in Vienna

Browse the project site here.  

These are stories of life, told by ten Viennese Jews, who shared their memories with Tanja Eckstein from the Jewish historical institute Centropa – about their childhood and youth in Vienna, the horror they lived through, and how they established their Jewish life in Vienna in the post-war years.

This website is the interactive adaptation of a book that was published in 2017 in German by Centropa. The book contains the complete versions of the ten biographies introduced here, along with a variety of additional images, forwards by Hannah M. Lessing, Edward Serotta and Tanja Eckstein, as well as a comprehensive glossary.
