Title: Devil in Vienna
First published: October 1, 1995
Description: Austria pre-World War II.  This fiction, based on the writer's own experience, is in the form of a journal of a teenager named Inge Dornenwald.  Inge, a Jewish from an educated and well off family wrote about her beautiful friendship with a Roman Catholic Austrian, Lieselotte Vesseley, since the age of 7; the negative change to Austria and especially to the Jewish who were born and lived there during November 1937 to March 1938; the life saving power to any adult Jews who could have a RC baptismal certificate stamped 1936 or earlier.  It is touching to read about how some RC priests at the time, in troubled Vienna, trying their best to help rescuing Jewish.
