Politics -The type of government in Austria during the early nineteen hundreds was a federal democratic republic. -Their leader, or chancellor, was Kurt Schuschnigg.

Religion -In Austria, the religion with the most followers was Roman Catholicism. -In 1938, the Germans attacked, and took control of the Jews. They were punished for their beliefs, and many were held prisoner.

Housing -Although not all Jews were sent to concentration camps, many were forced to live in ghettos, just like Lilli Tauber’s parents. The rooms were very crowded due to the many people living in a single room. (Above) This is the room where Lilli Tauber’s parents lived. They shared this room with everyone else.

Education for Jewish children was the same as all the other children’s before the Germans invaded Austria. However, once the Germans invaded, the Jewish children were treated differently, and were forced to go to different schools. This happened to Lilli Tauber, who remembers a childhood friend who stopped talking to her overnight, and how her family’s treatment changed drastically.
