Abstract:
The rise of modern antisemitism in Austria did not provoke any outcry from Viennese Jewry until the young District Rabbi, Joseph Samuel Bloch, rose in 1882 to attack the silence of Jewish liberals and to call for Jewish self-help. Bloch's denunciations of August Rohling, author of "Der Talmudjude", brought him popularity and a seat in the Reichsrat. In 1884 he founded a newspaper, the "Österreichische Wochenschrift", which fought antisemitism. The Österreichisch-Israelitische Union, founded in 1885-86, failed to fulfill Bloch's hopes to establish an ethnic religious Jewish pressure group.
