Austrian Heritage Collection
The Austrian Heritage Collection is a project that was launched in 1996 at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York City in cooperation with the Memorial Service Association and the Austrian Cultural Forum New York . Every year two Austrian memorial servants do their civil substitute service as part of this project. The aim is to document the stories of Austrian-Jewish emigrants . For this purpose, questionnaires are sent out, oral history interviews are carried out and documents are collected. Over 4000 people could be contacted. By 2012, interviews had already been conducted with around 500 contemporary witnesses. This makes the Austrian Heritage Collection the most comprehensive collection on the subject of Jewish emigration from Austria in the United States .
