AHC interview with Hans Garten
No full textHans Garten was born on November 22, 1914, in the 20th District of Vienna, Austria. Brigittenau was mainly populated by low-income people and Polish Jews. His father Markus Garten, a traveling salesman, born in Lemberg, Poland, and his mother Pauline, nee Modena, who came from a Catholic family in Innsbruck, Austria, raised their children (one son, two daughters) in a rather poor and unkosher household to reformed Jewish traditions. Hans Garten even spent a year at a Jewish elementary school before he switched to a public school and later to Realschule. It was during his school time that he got interested in politics. He joined Rote Falken, VSM (= Verband Sozialistischer Mittelschueler, that is an organization of socialist students) and later became an illegal Communist. In 1933 he got arrested because of his political activities. When he took over his father's business, he used to travel around Europe, and also worked as a spy for the Nazi-opponents. In January 1938 he got arrested and imprisoned at the 'Landesgericht' in Vienna because of his underground activities. Released through the general amnesty by Chancellor Schuschnigg he escaped illegally to Switzerland on the day of the 'Anschluss'. He could make his way to London, England, where the American Ambassador Josef Kennedy Jr. supported him for his immigration to the USA. His parents survived the NS-Regime in Vienna with slave labor for the German troops, while his sisters emigrated to Palestine and Australia. After the war Hans Garten started a succesful career as a businessman in New York City, where he has been living ever since.Austrian Heritage CollectionSee also Hans Garten Collection (AR 11123)Switzerland ; France ; Englan
