This article examines data put together for a </span><span lang="EN-GB">symposium and commemoration ceremony </span><span lang="EN-US">from the databases of the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance on suicides in Vienna. Suicides peaked </span><span lang="EN-GB">after the “Anschluss” of Austria in March 1938, but also increased during the November pogrom and at times when people </span><span lang="EN-US">feared losing their housing</span><span lang="EN-GB">. While research had already suggested a connection between the mass transports from Vienna between autumn 1941 and autumn 1942, the data allows an in depth-analysis of the correlation between transports and suicides and can demonstrate this on the level of individual transports leaving Vienna. Additionally, the article looks into the average age, the </span><span lang="EN-US">types of suicides and into demographic aspects, such as differences according to gender.</span></p>}, number={1}, journal={S: I.M.O.N.
