Hall, Christina KöstnerWien :Böhlau,2006.1 online resource (617 pages) illustrationsIncludes bibliographical references (pages 591-603) and indexes.When Austria was annexed by Hitler Germany in March 1938, the National Library in Vienna was not only the biggest scientific library in the country, it was now the third largest in the German Reich. Its status among and influence on the scholarly libraries in the Reich was considerably enhanced by one person during the Nazi period, namely the newly-appointed director-general Dr. Paul Heigl, a fervent National socialist. Acquisitions by the Library during the years 1938 to 1945 are a key focal point of this history, and Heigl played both an active and significant role in the process of book looting in the interest of the National Library. This study presents the political role of the Library before and after March 1938 by investigating its involvement in the crimes of the Nazi regime.Libraries and national socialismAustriaViennaJewish librariesAustriaViennaHistory20th centuryLibraries and national socialismJewish librariesHistory027.5436Hall Murray G.245389Köstner Christina1975-NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910724387203321"...
