In Vienna 1938-1945, the buildings No 4 and 6, Nelkengasse
represent a particularly tragic location in the 6th district
of Vienna - Mariahilf. In these houses, a high number of
so-called Sammelwohnungen were installed - group flats where
many Jews had to move to after eviction from their homes.
From here, 31 people were deported to the concentration
camps Kielce, Litzmannstadt/Lodz, Kowno, Maly Trostinec, and
Auschwitz and murdered there.[1] Heinz Moldau and his family
lived in 6, Nelkengasse; the father ran a well-reputed
leather goods factory in 26, Westbahnstraße. The factory was
aryanized, and the family - Heinz Moldau then a boy of
sixteen years - had to flee from Vienna. In the interviews,
Heinz Moldau talks about his family, the threats from the
Nazis, the aryanization of the leather goods factory and the
flight from Vienna.
From
6, Nelkengasse 14 people werde deported and murdered.
