Vienna to offer citizenship for descendants of Austrian Holocaust victims – Earlier, only Holocaust survivors who fled Austria before early May 1945 could apply | i24NEWS
Descendants of Austrian Holocaust victims will be able to apply for Austrian citizenship starting from September 1, 2020, the country’s embassy in Israel announced.
The move comes after an amendment to the country’s citizenship law approved by the Parliament in September 2019 „in line with Austria’s ongoing endeavor for reconciliation with all those who suffered under the totalitarian Nazi-regime in Austria.“
