VIENNA: A member of the Rothschild family member is suing the city of Vienna, accusing it of “perpetuating” Nazi laws by plundering the Jewish banking family’s foundation, media reports said Saturday.
Vienna “has acted as if the Nazi confiscation decrees were still in place”, according to the reported court filings by the lawyer of Geoffrey Hoguet, a descendant of the younger brother of Nathaniel Freiherr von Rothschild. The Nazis annexed Austria in 1938, expelled the Rothschilds in that year and disbanded the foundation in 1939.
The 69-year-old also wants to nullify the sale of one of the sanatoriums in the early 2000s – a late-baroque palace that was reportedly one of the world’s earliest centres of mental health treatment.
