About this book
Reviews
“Offenberger reconstructs the everyday life of Viennese Jews after the Nazi takeover of Austria by raising a much larger question of if and how the descendants of genocide victims can overcome the suffering of a permanent loss.” (Kateřina Králová, Charles University, Czech Republic)
“Dr. Offenberger is very skilled at putting the reader into the position of the Jews of Vienna and asking the key questions: what were they thinking, what could they have done, that is, what would you have done?” (Martin Dean, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, USA)
