Audioguide Reindorfgasse

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 in Reindorfgasse (corner of Oelweingasse) reminds of the fact that until 1938, many Jewish businesses were located in the alley. In colloquial speech, the alley was called "Broadway of Rudolfsheim" at that time. The eyewitnesses Israel Hadar, Ella Kaufmann, Erika Goldschmied, Moshe Jahoda, Dita Segal report on the bustling life in Reindorfgasse and at the Schwendermarkt before the takeover of power in 1938, as well as on the exclusion and destruction of Jewish life thereafter.
