Günter Bischof “Busy with Refugee Work” Joseph Buttinger, Muriel Gardiner, and the Saving of Austrian Refugees, 1940–1941
Aus: Zeithistoriker – Archivar – Aufklärer. Festschrift für Winfried R. Garscha, hrsg. v. Claudia Kuretsidis- Haider und Christine Schindler im Auftrag des Dokumentationsarchivs des österreichischen Widerstandes und der Zentralen österreichischen Foschungsstelle Nachkriegsjustiz, Wien 2017 115 Günter Bischof “Busy with Refugee Work” Joseph Buttinger, Muriel Gardiner, and the Saving of Austrian Refugees, 1940–1941 At a time when Austria is experiencing political turbulences over the current “refugee crisis” of Syrian, Near Eastern and African asylum seekers, looking for a safe haven in Europe from the political turmoil in their regions, it might be worthwhile remembering that there were times in the twentieth century when Austrian refugees survived in similarly tumultuous situations with sup- port from the “kindness of strangers.” Joseph Buttinger (1906–1992) and his wealthy American wife Muriel Gardiner (1901–1965) personally helped hun- dreds of Austrian Socialists and Jews (often both) persecuted by the Dollfuss- Schuschnigg regimes and the Nazis to get out of Austria – and later Europe – to save their lives. They were generous in helping to provide the necessary immi- gration papers and funds for refugees to start a new life in the United States. After the end of World War II they supported a hundred or so families with CARE packages over several years. The Buttingers became shining examples of professional and humanitarian refugee workers. Their empathetic “refugee work” stands as a paragon of humanitarian aid for our days as well. Joseph Buttinger was born in Bavaria in 1906 and grew up in great poverty in Upper Austria. His father worked in various odd jobs and as a miner and fought on the Dolomite front in World War I; he died after being wounded. -

My thesis attempts to show the many belief systems that second wave feminists possessed concerning the role(s) of women and violence in revolutionary organizations. Hence, by using the Weathermen as a framework, I discuss various feminist essentialist and pacifist critiques of violence. I also include an analysis of feminists who, similar to the Weathermen, embraced political violence. For example, radical feminists Robin Morgan and Jane Alpert criticized the Weathermen’s violent tactics while other feminists such as Ti-Grace Atkinson and Valerie Solanas advocated that women “pick up the gun” in order to destroy patriarchal society. -

Joseph Buttinger 2
Thinking Cosmopolitan or How Joseph became Joe Buttinger1 Introduction “Mr. Buttinger was such a hero that if he had returned he would have become Chancellor.“ The former Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky on Joseph Buttinger 2 On May 27, 1932, the Austrian parliament approved a new government that should change the democratic course the country had pursued since the end of the First World War. The new chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß now was in charge of the country’s leadership. On October 1, he used a so‐called “emergency degree”, a wartime relict, to rule the country without the approbation of the Austrian parliament.3 That was the hour of birth of Austria’s first dictatorship. The consequences for the people were fatal. Unliebsame Personen as “unpleasing” persons were called at that time had more and more problems living a normal life. Particularly intellectuals who were engaged in the ideas of psychoanalysis, neopositivism, or austromarxism (socialism) had to fear reprisals from the government.4 Life became very hard for the government’s opponents, but for most of these persons, the situation turned from bad to worse with the incorporation of Austria into Hitler’s German Reich in 1938. So‐called “enemies of the government” were forced to emigrate ‐ and many of them did so. According to a 1941 Office of Strategic Service memorandum, more than 40.000 Austrians had immigrated to the United States during the three years since the “Anschluss” in 1938.5 This paper is about one of those who emigrated as a result of ideological reasons. It describes the life of the former Socialist leader, International Rescue Comitee (IRC) founding member, and writer Joseph Buttinger who had to flee his native country to 1 I would like to thank the Botstiber Foundation for its generous support of my work at the University of New Orleans. -
