EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tense atmosphere of a National Socialist student demonstration that took place at Vienna University on November 21, 1938. The Anschluss, or annexation, of Austria by Nazi Germany had occurred just six months earlier, and the student body at the prestigious institution was a hotbed of pro-Nazi sentiment. In this image, a large crowd of young men, most wearing the brown shirts and swastika armbands of the Nazi Party, gather on the university grounds. Some hold banners and flags, while others give the Nazi salute or engage in heated debates with their opponents. The expression on the faces of the students is a mix of determination, excitement, and hostility. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it provides a glimpse into the rise of fascism in Austria and the role that students played in its spread. The image is a poignant reminder of a dark chapter in European history and the power of youth to shape the political landscape.
