Abstract:
Companion book to the traveling exhibition, 'The Cultural Exodus from Austria', which opened 22 May 1995 in New York City and Vienna. Book is in two parts: Part 1 contains articles relating to Austrian emigration. Part 2 contains c. 4000 brief biographies of Nazi-era Austrian emigres, many of them Jewish. Alphabetical entries on pp. 1-138 of Part 2 include year, place, and country of birth; year, location, and country of death, where applicable; profession, and where and as what employed; may include additional biographical information; also includes year and destination of emigration from Austria and whether or not this country was where the person settled. Part 2 is subdivided into the arts and sciences: pp. 3-74 include a list of emigres in the sciences; pp. 77-94 include a list of emigres in literature; pp. 98-109 includes a list of emigres involved in film and theater; pp. 113-138 include a list of emigres involved in music. (n.b. Biographies also exist in a database format, which the Survivors Registry has acquired. The exhibition's information is displayed on 40 computer screens, and patrons can 'scroll through' listings. The data was culled from 5 databases, usually focusing on the intelligentsia and other prominent professionals.)
