The Anschluss Question in the Weimar Era


Book Description

"The Anschluss [anls] (spelled Anschluß at the time of the event, and until the German orthography reform of 1996; German for "connection" or union, political annexation), also known as the Anschluss Österreichs, was the occupation and annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany in 1938. This was in contrast with the Anschluss movement (Austria and Germany united as one country) which had been attempted since as early as 1918 when the Republic of German-Austria attempted union with Germany which was forbidden by the Treaty of Saint Germain and Treaty of Versailles peace treaties."--Wikipedia.







The First Austrian Republic, 1918-1938


Book Description

Describes life and political events in Austria after World War I on the basis of British legation reports from Vienna, supplemented by press reports and the records of the Society of Friends. These reports reflect widespread antisemitism, especially in Vienna, aggravated by hardships in the postwar period, political instability, and the rise of nationalistic para-military organizations. Antisemitic demonstrations were held in 1919 against Jewish war refugees from Poland and in 1920 against "Jewish domination" at the University of Vienna. The Republic and its army were also identified with the Jews. Documents the growing influence of Nazism from 1930 on. Ch. 9 describes the Anschluss and its results, including persecution of the Jews.
