Jewish Families of Bruck-Mürzzuschlag (BM), Liezen (LI), and Murau (MU) Styria (Steiermark), Austria

This project documents the Jewish families of the northwest half of modern Steiermark in Austria, excluding the administrative divisions of Leoben and Murtal. Because the Jewish population is very small, I am attaching all individuals associated to the region to the project, rather than only the head of household as is customary.

The Jews of Styria were part of the Jewish Community of Graz.
