Audioguide Jewish Orphanage

On November 21, 2009, the "Audioguide Wien 15 Orte erinnern – Menschen erzählen. Die Geschichte einer jüdischen Vorstadtgemeinde" was presented. At fifteen stations in the district of Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, plaques recall Jewish life and its destruction by the NS regime. The station is located in immediate proximity to the house at Goldschlagstraße 84, which housed a Jewish orphanage until 1939. The eyewitnesses Hilde and Katriel Fuchs recount their experiences in the orphanage before the National Socialists came to power. After its closure, it was converted into a nursing home. Until 1942, the NS regime deported all Jewish residents.
