Ich Bin Dafur, Die Sache in Die Lange Zu Ziehen: Die Wortprotokolle Der Osterreichischen Bundesregierung Von 1945 Bis 1952 Uber Die Entschadigung Der [German]

By Robert Knight

"Finally, a new edition of the long-out-of-print standard work Sad but true: The ""fathers"" of the Second Republic were virtually uninterested in supporting the Jews harmed during the Nazi era. Rather, they deliberately wanted to ""drag out"" the compensation process. The British historian Robert Knight, currently an expert on the Austrian Historical Commission, published explosive postwar cabinet minutes in the 1980s. Now, a (revised) new edition of the out-of-print standard work on Jewish compensation is finally being published: The book reprints in full important cabinet minutes and documents from the years 1945 to 1952 on the topics of the restitution of ""Aryanized"" assets to Jews and ""displaced persons."" They reveal more clearly than ever before the attitudes of the ""fathers"" of the Second Republic toward Jewish issues and indirectly provide insight into the views of the Austrian population. In the detailed introduction, Robert Knight discusses questions of power and interests in the restitution of Jewish property at the beginning of the Second Republic, and Austria's ""victim role"" derived from the Moscow Declaration. The revised new edition includes a current foreword and, for the first time, an index."
