Return to the Land of Hitler

"The Compromise of Return provides a carefully researched, concisely written, and accessible study that not only deepens our understanding of the complex experiences of return and reestablishment of Jewish life in post-Nazi Austria, but also embeds these in the often reprehensible context of Austria’s postwar policies toward these Jewish survivors. This work makes a much-needed contribution to expanding our horizons beyond the context of postwar Germany, with a particularly commendable effort to integrate gender and women’s history into the substantial literature on Vienna’s Jewish history."
