註釋
A catalogue of items from the collections of the Jewish Museum in Vienna which were exhibited in five different sites in October-November 1995 - the sites to which the items were dispersed in 1938. The editor's introduction (pp. 7-29) relates the story of the collections of the Jewish Museum in Vienna, which were confiscated in 1938 by the Nazis. The Museum was founded in 1896; in 1913 it contained 3,400 objects. Following the Anschluss in March 1938, the Museum was closed. On 18 October 1938 a nearby building was ravaged by fire, causing damage also to the Museum, so that the safety of the collection was no longer assured. In the beginning of 1939 the Museum of Natural History, motivated by Nazi ideology, prepared an exhibition on the history of the Jews and their racial characteristics, utilizing part of the confiscated collection. Later, in the same exhibit, they displayed plaster casts of Jewish skulls originating from concentration camps. The Jewish collection was returned to the Jewish community after the war.
