Austria as a Cold War Refuge: Reassessing the Historiography
Original language description
This article examines the historiography of Austria as a Cold War refuge. It starts by identifying research trends in Austrian migration history. The state of the field reflects general temporal foci of historians and has surged at moments when migration became more prominent in public debates as was the case in the early 1990s and again since 2015. Against this backdrop, both generally and regarding migration history, the postwar decade is the most thoroughly researched period of the Cold War. Still, a closer look at the history of DPs and expellees in postwar Austria reveals a fragmented scholarship. The recent renewed interest in the topic has the potential to broaden and deepen our knowledge. During the Cold War, Austria successfully protected its image as a haven for refugees. Since the 1990s, however, historians have begun revisiting and demythologizing this master narrative of Austria’s Cold War history.
