The devil in Vienna

Description:

Austria pre-World War II. This fiction, based on the writer's own experience, is in the form of a journal of a teenager named Inge Dornenwald. Inge, a Jewish from an educated and well off family wrote about her beautiful friendship with a Roman Catholic Austrian, Lieselotte Vesseley, since the age of 7; the negative change to Austria and especially to the Jewish who were born and lived there during November 1937 to March 1938; the life saving power to any adult Jews who could have a RC baptismal certificate stamped 1936 or earlier. It is touching to read about how some RC priests at the time, in troubled Vienna, trying their best to help rescuing Jewish.
