It was very important for me, says 17-year-old American high school student Maya Hofstetter, who wants to piece together the fragments of her great-grandmother s painful history. © ALEX HALADA

An attempt to correct history : Jewish descendants reclaim Austrian citizenship

Their stories begin with snippets of history passed down through their family trees. The forced exile of Maya Hofstetter’s great-grandmother Stella Rinde Coburn began in August 1939, the year after Austria’s annexation by Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Gershon’s grandfather Eric Otto also left. “He didn’t want to leave Austria. It wasn’t his decision,” says the 46-year-old sales director for Israel’s national carrier, El Al. “When he was 13 years old in 1938, his parents put him on a ship to Palestine,” he says. Only after World War II did Otto learn that his family had died in the Nazi camps.
