Vienna
Vienna is the capital city of Austria.About 1.6 million people live in it and it's the largest city in all Austria, also the cultural, economic and political center.
From 1938 until the end of Second World War, Vienna wasn't the capital anymore, and Berlin took its place.
Vienna was an important center of Jewish culture and education. It was also a Zionist center, and even Theodor Herzl studied at the University of Vienna.
In March 1938 Austria was 'conquered' by Hitler Germany and stopped to exist as a independent state. Most of Vienna's Jewish population was driven away or exterminated.
The Soviet forces liberated Vienna on April 4, 1945.
