The Rothschild Hospital, named after its founder Baron Anselm von Rothschild, was the hospital of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde in Vienna, Austria from its opening in 1873 until its closure by the Nazis in 1943.
After World War II, it served as a hospital for sick and infirm displaced persons, housing as many as 600 refugees. The American Joint Distribution Committee aka "the Joint" (AJDC) played a significant role in caring for DPs.
