In Vienna, Opa Diamond had a boot factory, which according to Shulem amply supported the family. The factory was eventually confiscated by the incoming German army.
During their years in Vienna, the family lived on Darwingasse (20). Please see the Web Album for pictures of the apartment complex (courtesy of Yaakov).
