The federal government pledged to establish the “Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies“ in the Council of Ministers on the anniversary of Austria’s “annexation” to Nazi Germany. The institution will be accommodated in Palais Strozzi in Josefstädterstraße (Vienna) as from 2011. The Federal Republic, the City of Vienna and the responsible sponsoring association will each assume one third of the running costs.
