הפעילות למען קרן קימת לישראל באוסטריה משלהי מלחמת העולם הראשונה ועד לאיסור העשייה הציונית על ידי השלטונות הנאציונל-סוציאליסטיים (מאי 1940)

Reports on activities of the Jewish National Fund in Vienna from 1918-40. Appendix B (pp. 234-278) discusses the Nazi period, including anti-Jewish laws after the "Anschluss" in 1938, the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, Jewish emigration between 1938-40, and the deportation and murder of ca. 65,000 Austrian Jews. Appendix C (pp. 254-278) reports on the functioning of Jewish organizations in Vienna under Nazi rule in 1938-40. All Jewish organizations were closed just before the "Anschluss, " but Zionist organizations were soon allowed to function again, in order to facilitate emigration to Eretz Israel. The JNF continued to collect funds for pioneering projects, despite the difficult conditions and the fact that its functioning was limited, like that of the other Jewish organizations. The offices of the JNF were closed in May 1940, and opened again only in 1949. Discusses, also, the fate of some of those who worked in the Vienna office, most of whom managed to emigrate by 1940.
