Guilty Victims: Austria from the Holocaust to Haider
is a book by Hella Pick that analyzes how post-WWII Austria cultivated an image of victimhood while largely avoiding accountability for its role in the Holocaust. The book argues that this national myth was perpetuated by the Moscow Declaration, which officially declared Austria the `first free country to fall victim to Hitlerite aggression,` a narrative that was useful to both the Allies and Austrians but obscured the significant involvement of many Austrian citizens in Nazi crimes. The book traces this legacy to the late 20th century, showing how figures like President Kurt Waldheim and politician Jörg Haider continued to surface Austria`s problematic past in the context of its post-war identity and rise within Europe.
