„One who knows the meaning of exile has also acquired some of life’s answers and even more of life’s questions. Among the answers one finds the seemingly trivial realization that there is no turning back, because returning to somewhere can never mean the recovery of the lost time.“

(Jean Amery: How much home does a person need? In: Beyond Guilt and Atonement. An attempt by one who was overcome to come to terms. Stuttgart: Klett-Cotta 1977)

„Austrian exile literature since 1933“ deals with emigration and exile in the 20th century - as one of the main life and writing experiences of Austrian authors.

The goal of the project is to provide the Austrian and international public with qualified material regarding this topic. Everyone from all levels of education and of all ages who is interested is therefore very welcome to view the contents of the complete project free of charge.

We want to appeal to pupils and students in particular. The portrayals and materials can therefore be used as learning-bases for implementation in high school teaching, in cultural studies subjects at universities (information for students in correspondence courses) and in institutes for adult education.
