Audioguide Reindorfgasse

On 21 November 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, the plaques remember Jewish life and its destruction by the Nazi regime. The station in Reindorfgasse (corner Oelweingasse) remembers that until 1938, many Jewish shops were located in the street. At that time, the street was colloquially called the "Broadway of Rudolfsheim." The eyewitnesses Israel Hadar, Ella Kaufmann, Erika Goldschmied, Moshe Jahoda, and Dita Segal report on the lively life in Reindorfgasse and at Schwendermarkt before the takeover of power in 1938, as well as on the exclusion and destruction of Jewish life afterwards.
