Nurit It might help to fill in the Austrian Govt online questionnaire to determine eligibility and the necessary documents. It’s also available in Hebrew apparently. https://ias.bmeia.gv.at/info58c/?Office=TEL-AVIV One interesting point is that it is written that no matter what your ancestor or you earlier Hapsburg citizenship you should have fled from the Republic of Austria as a result of Nazi persecution prior to 1955. Probably doing the questionnaire will clarify what that means in practice. My great grandfather Adolf Kanczuker was an Austrian citizen when he left Czernowitz, and his father served ( was conscripted) in the white uniform of the Austrian Army for seven years around the 1848 revolutions.
