    Notes Dorothy Thompson worked as a journalist in Vienna during the 1920s and 30s where she occupied a central position among the growing number of foreign correspondents in the city. She reported widely on high politics and cultural affairs, on the misery of post-war crowds in the impoverished city, but also on the continuing high quality of musical productions and performances there. In 1927, she reported on the fire at the Justizpalast. Her estate is archived at the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University Libraries, New York.
