“Our City!” starts with the years from 1945 to the present on the ground floor. It describes the development, in spite of the unhelpfulness of Austrian post-war politicians, of an almost completely destroyed Jewish community to its present-day modest but highly dynamic presence. It is a story of immigration: first from Eastern and Central Europe, […] | more

What skin colors do Jews have – and which are ascribed to them? How do they position themselves? The exhibition Black Jews, White Jews? explores these questions and shows historical and contemporary examples of external and self-perception.

The Israeli artist Eran Shakine (*1962) gives every one of his paintings the same title: “A Muslim, a Christian and a Jew…” – almost as if he were about to tell a joke.

After the Anschluss on March 12, 1938, Vienna became a model city for the systematic expulsion of Jews. In a very short time, the third-largest Jewish community in Europe was wiped out through emigration, deportation, and murder.
