Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 For the first time in the history of Austria, the leadership of the state required an open commitment to the homeland. The country was divided on whether to remain independent from German tyranny or not. #2 The Karmelitermarkt was the main market in Vienna, and it was here that Tini Kleinmann bought her supplies for the week. The marketplace was full of stalls owned by Jewish traders. The pro-independence slogans were everywhere, painted on the pavements in big, bold letters. #3 The Austrian government's campaign for the plebiscite was suspended due to the developing crisis. There were rumours that the Viennese police would side with local Nazis if it came to a confrontation. #4 The family was happy and peaceful in their home, until a written ultimatum came from Germany demanding that the plebiscite be canceled and that Chancellor Schuschnigg resign. The Austrian government had until 7:30 p. m. to comply.
