Dear Warren Rosenzweig, It just came to my attention that you are seeking to restore the Nestroyhof building, and I′d like to express my support and admiration for your initiative.This is a unique opportunity to preserve an important site of Jewish, Austrian, and international arts history and cultural memory. More importantly, I believe that it is in initiatives such as yours, in which one connects the past′s heritage to our troubled present times, that the international community can come to design a fertile future for generations to come.I deeply hope you will find the necessary support from local and national authorities, so that soon such an extraordinary project can be internationally greeted as a visionary enterprise. Be sure your efforts are broadly noticed.
Warm wishes,
Claudia Tatinge Nascimento Assistant Professor of Theatre Wesleyan University, Connecticut
