Tanja, our chief interviewer, was born in East Germany, moved to West Germany in the 1980s and relocated to Vienna when she married. Tanja joined Centropa as an interviewer in 2002 , and since then she has conducted more than 70 interviews in Austria and another 3 in Israel. In 2006, she started our Vienna Cafe Centropa social club, which brings together our elderly interviewees once a month to enjoy a lecture, social program or a festive Jewish holiday meal.
