Issued by Austria to commemorate the World Refugee Year (1959–1960), this poignant 3 Schilling stamp depicts a refugee family trudging through a desolate landscape, symbolizing hardship and hope. Designed by A. Pilch and engraved by R. Toth, the illustration shows a man carrying belongings and a woman bearing a child, capturing the universal plight of displaced persons. The stamp served to raise awareness and support for refugees in the postwar era — an emblem of Austria’s humanitarian engagement during the mid-20th century.
