“SS Gestapo Chief Henrich Himmler’s agents sped through the streets of Vienna on an early morning, March 11, 1938, to capture and eliminate Nazi Germany’s enemies. One of his prime targets lived in a middle-class Jewish neighborhood at 28 Weihoffen St. Apartment 7. Ludwig Von Mises, a 58-year-old political philosopher, was Jewish and defenseless. Hitler deemed this man an enemy of the state and one of the top targets to be seized during the Nazi takeover of Austria. Fleeing from the city the day before, Professor Mises narrowly escaped to Switzerland. Despite attempts on his life, Mises spent the 92 years of his life fighting totalitarianism.”
