Palais Albert Rothschild

Description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_Albert_Rothschild

Descripcion foto: The Palais Albert Rothschild was one of five Palais Rothschild in the city that were owned by members of the Rothschild banking family of Austria, a branch of the international Rothschild family. It was built between 1876 and 1884, and located at Heugasse 26 (today Prinz-Eugen-Straße 20–22). An unusual element of the building was the private observatory located at the highest point of the palace. After the Anschluß (annexation) of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938, the Rothschild family was forced to flee and went into exile in England. Almost immediately, the Nazis turned their attention to the Rothschild art collections, which were the largest and most valuable Jewish-owned art collections in Austria. Adolf Eichmann moved into the palace and set up the infamous Central Agency for Jewish Emigration in Vienna, the "purpose" of which was to "organize" the emigration of Jews from Austria. Slightly damaged during the war, the palace was torn down in 1954.
