Austrian Property Declarations 1938

Dr. Hubert Steiner at the Oesterreichisches Staatsarchiv has produced a search aid for the property lists which all Jews in Vienna were forced to submit in 1938. The list is also available on the web at Avotaynu Online and includes name and birth date. These records are filed by sequence of submission, not by name, so without Dr. Steiner's laudable work it would be quite impossible to find anything. Files can be requested from the Staatsarchiv.

The property lists contain detailed lists of possessions and property and also sometimes contain data on what happened to the persons concerned, including their exile addresses and so on. Practically all Jews in Vienna in 1938 completed one, because if they didn't everything was confiscated.
