Privacy

For reasons of privacy, we have not included information about people who were born less than 100 years ago, in some cases 110 years ago, unless we have confirmed that (1) they died over forty years ago, (2) they have agreed to have their data published through the Servitengasse 1938 working group; or (3) they have given the University of Victoria permission to do so.

If you lived or owned a shop on the Servitengasse in the years between 1938 and 1945, or had family members who did, and do not see the information listed (or have found errors in the information presented), please let us know. We would like to include and revise the information if we have the necessary permission to do so.

Given the current privacy laws in Austria, it is especially important that we have accurate and updated information on someone’s birthdate and death date—so that we can determine when we are allowed to publish new information. At this point in time, we have 40 entries that have not yet been published for reasons of privacy.

If you would like to get in touch with us about this project, please send an email to servitengasse1938@uvic.ca.
