Archival History

Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien

Acquisition

Source of acquisition is the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien, Austria. The original collection, including ownership rights, was formally transferred from the State Archive Burgenland (Landesarchiv Burgenland) to the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien (Jewish Community Vienna) in February 2021. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s International Archives Project in November 2021. This is an ongoing project. This project is estimated to take three to four years (ca. 2025).

Scope and Content

Records of seven former Jewish communities of the Austrian state of the Burgenland, which were disbanded after the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany. The material consists of official correspondence, protocols of Jewish community board meetings, marriage, birth and death records, decrees, Jewish community records, school records, tax records, military records, records pertaining to Jewish organizations and officials, and other documentation.

System of Arrangement

Digitization of the collection is in process. The records are arranged by localities of Jewish communities. Digitized finding aid on the end of collection is organized in the following order: 462_Inventar_Deutschkreutz_A_AV_4_Mappe 463_Inventar_Eisenstadt_B_AV_5_Mappe 464_Inventar_Frauenkirchen_C_AV_6_Mappe 465_Inventar_Gattendorf_D_AV_7_Mappe 466_Inventar_Güssing_E_AV_8_Mappe 467_Inventar_Kittsee_F_AV_9_Mappe 468_Inventar_Kobersdorf_G_AV_10_Mappe 469_Inventar_Lackenbach_H_AV_11_Mappe 470_Inventar_Mattersbuch_J_AV_12_Mappe 471_Inventar_Rechnitz_K_AV_13_Mappe 471_Inventar_Rechnitz_K_AV_13_Mappe 472_Inventar_Stadtschlaining_L_AV_14_Mappe 473_Inventar_Israelit_Schule_Deutschkreutz_M-1_AV_15_Mappe 474_Inventar_Israelit_Schule_Eisenstadt_M-2_AV_16_Mappe 475_Inventar_Israelit_Schule_Frauenkirchen_M-3_AV_17_Mappe
