- Film Provenance
- The 16mm film was shot by a San Francisco physician named L.P. Monson, who toured the world in 1938 after the death of his spouse. He shot several hours of Kodachrome, including this brief sequence in Vienna located on Roll 2. Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archives) acquired the film from a descendant named Worthington, who told him that Monson had shot more but that the material was confiscated by the Gestapo. Other parts of this film roll were shot in Rome, Venice, (Vienna), Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia, and Istanbul. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum obtained a digital copy of the film via the Austrian Film Museum in November 2011.
- Note
- A 35mm color dupe negative (blowup of Vienna sections) was made at JEA in 1998. Original file number PA-2170.
