Jewish‘s women’s Marriages of Convenience in Exile
6 March to 30 October 2022
A race against time began for Austrian Jews in March 1938. Some Jewish women saved themselves through marriages of convenience with foreign citizens. These marriages were entered into in name only, for reasons of solidarity or against payment, so that the women were able to travel to countries where Jews were not (yet) being persecuted. Thirteen stories of women reveal their different life circumstances and the opportunities and risks of marriages of convenience as a survival strategy – with varying outcomes.
