The annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany from 1938 to 1945, or "Anschluss", was the darkest chapter in the country's history. The contributions presented in this paper demonstrate that we still feel the aftermath of this horrible period. It was horrible not only because Austria was a victim of Nazi terror, but, moreover, was a perpetrator of it. While invading Austria, poorly prepared German troops were surprised to be received with cheering crowds, much less the overcrowded Heldenplatz during Hitler's speech to the Austrian population on 15 March 1938. Everything was well prepared for the arrival of the German occupiers: already the years before, subsidiaries of the NSDAP were active in Austria, and there were suddenly hundreds of thousands of swastikas and flags available and an extreme and sophisticated system of denunciation. Many Austrians, including doctors, achieved leading positions during the Nazi period. Doctors represented the highest proportion of Austrian academics who were members of the NSDAP (though it is worth noting that many of their Jewish colleagues had already been expelled from the country), and they were heavily implicated in committing ethical misconduct, in particular in the execution of the "euthanasia" T4-programme, where handicapped children and adults were killed. After World War II, many tainted physicians and university professors were reinstated in their former positions and had the opportunity of a post-war career. This was the main reason for the general backlog in research and development in Austria in comparison with most countries of the Western world.

In this cross‐cultural and historical contrast to the American park style, we see an eighteenth‐century Viennese park, the Prater. This park has long been a showcase for the panoply of Viennese popular culture ("To be Viennese has long meant to visit the Prater"), serving as a generous stage for the mixing of classes and cultures. Here was a crossroad where immigrants, travelers, ethnics and the lower echelons could observe and mingle with the middle and upper reaches of society; a living laboratory of acculturation to the life of a cosmopolitan city.Together with the Schoenbrunn Zoo and other mainstays of the recreational outing, the park also provides an early example of environmental awareness in a rapidly expanding area calling for a balance between urban growth and green space.These effects indicate that popular culture, even within the limited realm of entertainment such as the amusement park, carries more serious implications for social and environmental issues.

We study whether long-gone but activated history can shape social attitudes and behavior even after centuries. We exploit the case of the sieges of Vienna in 1529 and 1683, when Turkish troops pillaged individual municipalities across East Austria. In 2005, Austrian right-wing populists started to campaign against Turks and Muslims and explicitly referred to the Turkish sieges. We show that right-wing voting increased in once pillaged municipalities compared to non-pillaged municipalities after the campaigns were launched, but not before. The effects are substantial: Around one out of ten votes for the far-right in a once pillaged municipality is caused by salient history. We conclude that campaigns can act as tipping points and catalyze history in a nonlinear fashion.

In this recollection of developing the Paul Lazarsfeld Archive at the U of Vienna, Neurath recalls his experiences with Lazarsfeld himself & his work. The author relates some childhood experiences with Lazarsfeld's work & his assistance to the author when he first came to the US. The author describes his experiences in finding a suitable director to sort through all of the work, only to discover that he himself was qualified, at which point he embarked upon searching though all of Lazarsfeld's work & delivering it to Vienna.
