- Summary
- Examines the history of Jewish life in Baden, Austria, from the beginning of the settlement of Jews there in the late medieval period, but focusing on the 18th-20th centuries. Pp. 207-238 discuss the Nazi period. In 1937, ca. 2,400 Jews lived in Baden. Following the Anschluss, Many Jews were humiliated and forced to clean the streets. Jewish physicians and employees lost their jobs. Since local authorities did not want to lose revenue from Jewish tourists during the summer of 1938, they provided them with temporary residence permits, but only Jewish institutions could accommodate Jewish tourists. During the "Kristallnacht" pogrom many Jewish families were expelled from their homes. The Jewish community ceased to exist in January 1939. In May 1939, 242 Jews remained in Baden, and in April 1940 there were only 43. The last remaining Jews were banished in 1941. In 1944 Jews from Hungary were brought to Baden for forced labor; two of them were former residents of the town.
