"A STARVING CITY
Lining up for food in wartime Vienna, no matter the temperature, was everyday undertaking of sheer desperation. By the end of the conflict, no amount of waiting was enough to obtain decent rations. What was issued as corn bread simply fell apart; dried vegetables were so hard that people referred to them as 'barbed wire'." (Information text in the museum)
