The Dachau Transports

Vienna in 1938 was a city of questions. In this time, the people of this laid back, artistically thriving community had been in a rhythm of hustle and bustle and great business opportunities. This city was a huge part of Jewish culture and the events that took place during this time were so detrimental to the culture itself, they have been rebuilding it from the end of the war in 1945 to this day. A huge blow to the culture was the transportation of Jewish men to the
Dachau concentration camp, among other camps as well.
The leadup to this attack on the Jewish community was the coming into power of Adolf
Hitler. His power shift was swift and unfortunately not painless. During the 1920s and 1930s, although Austria had become an expressive culture in the arts, their economy was in great turmoil. This was due to the fact that Austria had been cut off from resources, reducing their sales, profit, and well being. Austria was falling apart and seeked refuge under the wing of
Germany. With their help, they could become a thriving city once again.
It was 1933 and Adolf Hitler had come into power as the German Chancellor. This would be the beginning of the Nazi party take over. The Austrian chancellor at this time was Karl
Schuschnigg and he was forced to give up Austria to Germany in fear of mass bloodshed and extended periods of turmoil. Days after Schuschnigg gave his final speech to his people, Hitler began to bring the hammer down on the Jewish community. March 12, 1938 was the beginning of the Anschluss Pogrom. From the wetwork came the underground Nazi community within
Austria to join up with the strong German Nazi forces. This Pogrom would trigger a massive

    The Austrian Chancellor, Dollfuss, tried to crack down on the Socialists and Nazis - political factions that he thought were tearing the country apart. Dollfuss banned the Nazi party. In 1934, Hitler ordered the Austrian Nazis to create havoc in Austria. This turned into an attempt to overthrow the government. Chancellor Dollfuss was murdered but the attempted coup failed because the Austrian military intervened to back up the government. In 1934, Italy had an agreement with Austria that it would protect Austria from outside aggression. The Italian dictator, Mussolini, honoured the agreement and moved Italian troops to the Austrian border to deter Hitler from invading. In his second attempt hitler began by ordering the Austrian Nazi Party to make as much trouble as it could. Austrian Nazis held parades and marches, set buildings on fire, let off bombs and organised fights. When the Austrian government banned them, Hitler held a meeting with the Austrian leader Kurt Schuschnigg. Hitler threatened to invade Austria unless Schuschnigg gave all important jobs in his government to Nazis. Schuschnigg compromised by appointing the Nazi Seyss-Inquart as Minister of the Interior. France, and Britain both refused to help Austria so on March 9th 1938 Schuschnigg announced his intention to hold a plebiscite to allow the Austrian people to decide for themselves whether to join with Germany or not (99.75% voted for Germany ). Hitler moved troops to the Austrian border and demanded that Schuschnigg call off the plebiscite. Schuschnigg had no choice but to comply and resign. Seyss-Inquart, Nazi Minister of the Interior took his place and immediately asked Hitler to send the German army into Austria to help restore order. The Anschluss was established on 14th March 1936.…

    1933 to 1939 was a horrific time for the Jewish population. During this time Adolf Hitler released the Nuremberg Laws. To start, these consisted of a “Law against Overcrowding in Schools and Universities limits the number of Jewish students in public schools.” (“Examples of Antisemitic Legislation, 1933-1939”).To clarify, this law showed that Jews were not welcome in “non-Jewish” schools or universities. This caused the Jews to have a small opportunity in the school life. To add on, in 1937 “The Mayor of Berlin orders public schools not to admit Jewish children until further notice” (“Examples of Antisemitic Legislation, 1933-1939”).
