A master storyteller remembers his youth in Vienna. Franz West (1909–1985) recalls his Jewish family, his commitment to the workersʼ movement in Red Vienna along with the rise of Austro-fascism and National Socialism. His memories of the diverse Jewish population of the so-called “Matzah Islandˮ combined with impressive archive material illustrate and elucidate the complexity of Austrian history between the two world wars.
