I will be spending a weekend in Vienna next month, and I would love to see the apartment where my late grandfather lived before fleeing the Nazis. Unfortunately, nobody in the family knows the address, and there aren't any letters or other documents to provide it. Things are also complicated by the fact that I won't be visiting on a weekday, so any archives that might have this information will presumably be closed. Plus, I don't speak German. Am I out of luck, or is there any way to track this information down in the next few weeks? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.25714 Tue, 18 Oct 2005 07:22:24 -0800 geneology history metafilterhistory phonebooks resolved vienna yankeefog
