Vienna II, Austria, 1934

Description

Doris’s husband, Alfred (Fred) Schneider, was also a child in Austria in the 1930s. In 1934 he made his own Waffen Pass (Weapons Permit). The handmade pass represents how Fred processed the growing tensions in Austria, from the 1934 February Uprising (Austrian Civil War) between the far-right government and socialist forces to the Nazi’s rise to power in Germany.
