Abstract:
In 1938 there were 170,000 Jews in Vienna, comprising 10% of the population. Open attacks by the Austrian population on Jews and Jewish businesses began immediately after the Anschluss, followed by official Aryanization and expropriation of Jewish property which was completed by early 1939. Describes the organization of the expropriation policy under the direction of Walter Rafelsberger, economic adviser of the Vienna Nazi Party branch, and the methods employed in various commercial branches, such as industry, banks, the jewelry business, etc. Of 26,000 Jewish enterprises in Vienna, 21,000 were compulsorily liquidated and 5,000 Aryanized.
