Archival History

Oberösterreichisches Landesarchiv

Acquisition

Forms part of the Claims Conference International Holocaust Documentation Archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This archive consists of documentation whose reproduction and/or acquisition was made possible with funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

Collection originally was a part of the Reichsstatthalterei Oberdonau (Nazi governor's office of Oberdonau) files. Material was transferred after World War II to the Oberösterreichisches Landesarchiv. The archives separated out a number of financial files that originally were part of the Reichsstatthalterei Oberdonau and which overlap in parts, among them the "Arisierungen" collection. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the filmed collection via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum International Archives Project in Mar. 2004.

Scope and Content

Records pertaining to the confiscation of mostly Jewish-owned property by Nazi authorities in Upper Austria and Vienna, Austria. Mostly individual case files consisting of reports and correspondence between the Reichsstatthalter Oberdonau, the Vermögensverkehrsstelle Wien, and various other Nazi agencies involved in expropriation. Includes files on a few confiscated non-Jewish properties. Reel #18 of the collection also features topical files concerning Nazi expropriation laws and regulations, reports, and guidelines, such as how to proceed with the expropriation of properties owned by foreign nationals such as U.S. citizens.
