Migrants and expensive cars: a cliché?
People with supposedly little money but expensive cars: This is an image of people with a migration background that has persisted in society for decades. But what exactly is behind this cliché? Samuel Mago set out to find young people with a migration background who are passionate about their car. Antonio, Esra and Enes look back at a time when their families – migrant workers from Yugoslavia and Turkey – came to Vienna by train and drove back to their country of birth in Mercedes.
“Time Travel”: My first apartment
35 years ago, the ORF started the program “Heimat Fremde Heimat”. On the occasion of the anniversary year, the ORF magazine is showing the loose series “Time Travel” – stories to see again. In the article “My first apartment” from 2017, Dalibor Hýsek spoke to people who immigrated to Austria about their memories of their first four walls. The same applies then as now: at the very beginning of many immigration stories there is often a life in a confined space, with strangers in the same room – be it in a refugee camp or in a mass accommodation for “guest workers”.
Erika Freeman, honorary citizen
Stories about the life of Erika Freeman, now 96, could fill volumes. As a Viennese Jew, she had to flee to America from the National Socialists. There she became a psychoanalyst to Hollywood stars. It was only the memory work of young Viennese students that brought them back to Vienna. Now the 96-year-old has been made an honorary citizen of Vienna by the mayor of Vienna.
