Werner Winterstein, 'Comment: Prominent'. A history of the Winterstein Family 1867-1945

in German:
Werner Winterstein, 'Anmerkung: Prominent'. Geschichte der Familie Winterstein 1867-1945

 

In the present volume, Werner Winterstein tells the varied history of his Jewish family from 1867 until the assumption of power by Adolf Hitler, of the deportation of the majority of the family to the Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Theresienstadt concentration camps and of how they dealt with it in the re-established state of Austria after 1945. From both today’s point of view and the perspective of those days and particularly on the basis of the information received from his family personally, the author describes the unforeseeable and unavoidable catastrophe taking an upper-class family as an example.

in German:
Werner Winterstein schildert im vorliegenden Band die wechselvolle Geschichte seiner jüdischen Familie im Zeitraum 1867 bis zur Machtergreifung durch Adolf Hitler, die Deportation eines Großteils der Familie in die Konzentrationslager von Auschwitz, Buchenwald und Theresienstadt und wie im wiedererstandenen österreichischen Staat nach 1945 damit umgegangen wird. Der Autor skizziert aus damaliger Sicht wie auch aus heutiger Perspektive,  besonders aber aufgrund des persönlich Überlieferten die unvorhersehbare und abwendbare Katastrophe am Beispiel einer großbürgerlichen Familie.
