Live and act

Walzer studied history , German and Hungarian . In 1995 she came to the Jewish cemetery in Währing through a research project , which is the last remaining Biedermeier resting place in Vienna, along with the Sankt Marx cemetery . She campaigned against the further deterioration of the cemetery, which was badly damaged during the Nazi era, and over the years won more and more volunteers, including US marines, diplomats, green politicians and celebrities - to free it from wild growth and undergrowth - in November 2009 there are 120 helpers. Since 1995 she has been researching the cemetery scientifically and has written several papers on this topic. In cooperation with the IKG Vienna is working on the historical, structural and architectural inventory of the cemetery. In addition, she created a biographical database of the cemetery and has already been able to track down 20 family descendants.

Other publications by Walzer deal with the Jewish history of Vienna and Austria as well as the coming to terms with Austria's National Socialist past.
