In March of 1938, Adolf Hitler and his army marched into Austria to the delirious jubilation of Austria's masses, who greeted the Fuehrer as their liberator and hero.
Dr. David Lehr's 'Austria Before & After the Anschluss' is his vivid, personal account of "those awesome and bone-chilling memories of the terror-laden days following the Anschluss," which most Austrians accepted with shocking enthusiasm.
Dr. Lehr presents an excruciating picture of life during this turbulent period, the horrific cost of racial prejudice, and a final tribute to those Jewish victims and displaced survivors who suffered so much at the hands of their own countrymen. His personal and historical expose has indeed fulfilled his heartfelt sense of responsibility to lay bare the tragic truth of the Auistrian Holocaust.
