💨 Abstract

Austrian Ambassador Katharina Wieser hosted author Vinay Gupta for a discussion about his book 'A Rescue in Vienna'. The book is a family memoir that details the heroism of Kundanlal, a machine tool manufacturer from Punjab, who helped four Jewish families escape Nazi-occupied Europe in 1938. Kundanlal sponsored and provided shelter for the families, setting up businesses and homes for them in India.
