it all began! How did an Austrian postcard painter turn into the world’s most
hated man? Where could Hitler and Stalin have met? Let us tell you about the

and drove his political career to be a leader in Germany. We will show you the
scars of World War II and the remains of the divided city after the war. Take a
deeper look into the darkest days of Vienna’s history.
Tour Highlights:
We will begin our walk at our meeting point
in front of the Albertina museum, next to the famous opera house. On this walking tour, you will
get an insight into Hitler’s early years and ideologies - what, where, why and
how the young art student became a feared dictator.
Find out what the social and political
thoughts were at the time in Vienna, and who influenced the young Adolf
Hitler’s mind! Hear and see what 53 bomb attacks with more than 100.000 bombs
did to the city. Learn more about the history and what happened to the once big
Jewish community of
the city when ethnic rivalry and fear seized the city. During Middle Ages,
Vienna had a growing Jewish
community with many synagogues of which we will visit only one that has
survived the Nazi regime and take a look at Vienna’s somber Holocaust memorial.
Back then, the Jewish
community was one of the largest in Europe. Today, the Jewish community is
almost entirely in Vienna. Let us tell
you how Vienna was divided after the Second World War, why it was the only city
in the world where the Allied Powers managed a zone together, and why there is
still a Heroes' Monument of the Red Army in the city.
