I Belong to Vienna

In autumn 1942, Anna Goldenberg's great-grandparents and one of their sons are deported to Theresienstadt, while their elder son, Hans, survives by hiding in Nazi-occupied Vienna. His life, spent in the municipal library and attending the opera, contrasts sharply with the grim reality faced by his family. Goldenberg's insightful narrative weaves together a story of heroism, identity, and belonging, reflecting her deep connection to her native Vienna as she examines the lingering effects of this dark chapter in history.
