Ankerbrotfabrik

This guide to Ankerbrotfabrik in Vienna centers on early 1939, after the Nazi regime seized Europe's largest bakery from its Jewish founders, brothers Heinrich and Fritz Mendl, forcing them into exile. It follows the workers who stayed and staged one of the only organized strikes inside a major Austrian factory under Nazi rule, protesting a new wage-cutting tax. The old bakery halls around you, once turning out a hundred fifty tons of bread a day, now hold galleries and artists' studios.
