Description

In June 2009, every Institute at the University of Vienna received a questionnaire on the subject “Culture of Remembrance and Commemoration at the University of Vienna”. One of the questions was “Was the history of the Institute/the discipline between 1938 and 1945 investigated?”. At that time the institute had been located at Berggasse 11. During the course of the research, students soon discovered Alexander Salkind (born 1887). No one had yet commemorated the Salkind family with a “Stone of Remembrance” in Berggasse; although Alexander Salkind’s writings can be found in every Vienna library, they had long ago been forgotten. His Vienna book was able to be “saved” by republishing it together with the story of the project Berggasse 11.

in German:
Im Juni 2009 bekam jedes Institut an der Wiener Universität einen Fragebogen zum Thema „Erinnerungs- und Gedenkkultur der Universität Wien“. Eine der Fragen lautete: „Wurde die Geschichte des Instituts/der Disziplin zwischen 1938 bis 1945 aufgearbeitet?“ Die Räumlichkeiten des Instituts befanden sich damals aber noch in der Berggasse 11. Im Laufe der Recherchen stießen Studentinnen sehr bald auf Alexander Salkind (geb. 1887). Für die Familie Salkind hat noch niemand an einen „Stein der Erinnerung“ in der Berggasse gedacht; Alexander Salkinds Schriften sind zwar in jeder Wiener Bibliothek zu finden, aber schon lange in Vergessenheit geraten. Sein Wien-Buch könnte „gerettet“ werden, indem es gemeinsam mit der Geschichte des Projekts Berggasse 11 wieder gedruckt wird.
