OverviewThe humanitarian aid for Austrian children from many parts of the world is to be understood as a social, political and societal reaction to the experience of the First World War. This help is still inscribed in the urban fabric of Vienna today: the names of Schwedenplatz or Argentinierstrasse go back to these relief actions. In 1918, 91% of school-age children in Vienna suffered from malnutrition. Embedded in previously untapped archive material, experience reports and numerous interviews, Isabella Matauschek succeeds in creating a vivid history of one of the first globally understood humanitarian aid actions in a comparison of Denmark and the Netherlands. The host country remained the nostalgically glorified second home for many of the children from Vienna who were sent away.
