Review of events and happenings regarding the situation of Austrian Jewry, 1938-1944, and personal notes and evaluations made by the reviewer - Summary description of the events and happenings that determined the fate of the Jews of Austria from the Anschluss (Annexation to the Reich), 1938, to the liquidation of Austrian Jewry through emigration abroad of most of the Jews and deportation of Jews to concentration and extermination camps (with the exception of Jews who had intermarried and the children of intermarriages). The review includes: statistical data, anti-Jewish legislation, mass deportations to Theresienstadt, a description of conflicts with the Zentralstelle fuer juedische Auswanderung (Central Office for Jewish Emigration) and the Gestapo. The anonymous author added his personal notes including subjective evaluations regarding his perception of his status at the center of events and thus partially responsible for their development due to his public role. There is a basis to the assumption that the author is a senior official from the Jewish community in Vienna. The review was written in 1946.
