Kurzfassung:
Describes the events of "Kristallnacht" in Vienna, based mostly on Nazi reports and the accounts of victims. Discusses the reluctance of Jews, before the Anschluss in March 1938, to face the reality of the danger and to emigrate, and the obstacles to emigration after the Anschluss. Also discusses the Aryanization of Jewish property and the deportations of 1941-42. Concludes that while many Viennese residents supported Nazi antisemitic policy passively or actively, others protested, and a few saved Jews at the risk of their lives. The Catholic clergy was divided on this issue. Mentions Cardinal Innitzer's efforts to help converted Jews.
