Acquisition
From the Österreichisches Staatsarchiv (Austrian State Archives). Before 1987, the documents were stored in numerous locations: NS-Vermittlungsstelle (1938–1940); Reichsarchiv Wien/Abteilung Staatsarchiv des Inneren und der Justiz (1940); and Allgemeines Verwaltungsarchiv. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection from the Austrian State Archives, via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s International Archives Project in August 2007.
