Join us for a moving walk through Vienna’s 9th district, Alsergrund, once the neighborhood with the highest concentration of Jewish residents in the city and a vibrant center of Jewish professional, cultural, and middle-class life. As we trace the streets where Jewish families built lives, sought opportunity, and navigated the promise and pressures of integration into Austrian society, we will look for the lingering marks of a world shattered in 1938 and visit the Wall of Names, the powerful memorial to Austrian Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Along the way, we will encounter the story of Sigmund Freud at Berggasse 19 and reflect more broadly on the extraordinary Jewish thinkers, families, and communities who helped shape Vienna before their world was broken apart.
