    Photos from Austria

    There are [10] photos from Austria

    Under a gravestone, I found this little family of weasel. They were not very shy and just waiting for me to disappear. Views[371] Today the Jewish cemetery is completely overgrown. In contrast to the Catholic part of the cemetery, there are hardly any visitors at the Jewish part. An own ecological system has developed. Here you can find deer, rabbits, pheasants and foxes. Views[328] Walking around, you won’t find any new graves after 1938 – the year of the occupation and annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany. Views[287] The members of this Jewish community were very often well-respected people, intellectuals or doctors. Views[371] The old Jewish cemetery is part of the Central Cemetery of Vienna. It was built in 1877, at a time when Vienna was one of the biggest centers of Jewish culture in Europe. Views[331]
