Abstract:
This exhibition catalogue guides the visitor into Vienna the city of music. The essays collected here shed light on the role of the Jewish population and the fin-de-siecle conflict between the avant-garde and the reactionaries, showing that contrary to traditional notions, Jews were not always to be found in the modern camp. We furthermore document the expulsion and murder of Jewish musicians between 1938 and 1945 and their work in exile. A critical look at Vienna after 1945 concludes the volume.
