Wistrich R. S. - Böcker

This book explores the development of the unique symbiosis between Austrians and Jews which culminated in the Anschluss of 1938 and the Holocaust. It also studies the post-war period of Austria and how anti-Semitism survived the war and led to the international isolation of Austria over the Waldheim affair. The author won the Viznitzer Prize for "The Jews of Vienna in the Age of Franz Joseph" and also wrote "Anti-Semitism: the Longest Hatred".
