The biographer, opera librettist and novelist, one of the co-founders of the Salzburg Festival, has been finally commemorated in the town with a Stolperstein outside his former house, marking him as one of Hitler’s victims.

Zweig and his second wife, Lotte, committed suicide in Brazilian exile in February 1942.
