New Yad Vashem Exhibition to Open in the Austrian Parliament, 15 October 2024
Yad Vashem will inaugurate a poignant new exhibition in the building of the Austrian Parliament. A photo album, stool, Tefillin (Phylacteries) satchel, and miniature Torah scroll, are just some of the artifacts that are used in Yad Vashem’s new exhibition “Torn from Life: The Fate of Austrian Jews After the Anschluss in 1938”, telling 14 personal stories of Viennese Jews who were forced to flee Austria to escape Nazi persecution and the fate that awaited much of European Jewry.
