  • Appendices to Part 2
    APPENDICES TO PART 2 A. THE WERTHEIMER HANUKKAH LAMP , BERNHARD PURIN The history of ownership over several generations can be established for few Judaica objects. Undoubtedly, this lamp, which became the property of Austrian court factor Samson Wertheimer (1658-1724) in 1713 shortly after its creation, counts among them. Moreover, its history reveals much about Jewish family networks that stretch far beyond the era of the court factors. 690 At the same time, it is an example of Judaica that disappeared following looting during the Shoah but the history of which could be reconstructed decades later. This Hanukkah lamp is part of a small group of very similar lamps that were manufactured around 1710-1715 Figure 30: Hanukkah Lamp / Hanukkah in the workshop of the Halberstadt silversmith Thomas Halberstadt, 1713; Silver, parcel gilt; Tubner.̈ Apart from this example three others have been Maker: Thomas T ubner̈ preserved in the Jewish Museum New York and in the H: 24; W: 30.7; D: 8 cm Israel Museum. 691 In the center of its backplate, which is Courtesy of Dr. David and Jemima Jeselsohn, Switzerland divided into three parts, is the depiction of a Hanukkah lamp based on the Temple menorah, flanked by two mermaids bearing crossbows and two columns crowned with flowers. The lamp is topped by an Austrian double-headed eagle. This double-headed eagle was probably added only after the acquisition of the lamp by Samson Wertheimer. It is of lesser quality than the other parts of the lamp, and unlike other mounted elements, it is not assembled with screws but with rivets.

  • Martha-Keil Facts-Projections-Voids-Milestones-Of-Austrian-Jewish-History Keynote-2012
    Keynote Lecture AEJM Martha Keil , 17.11.2012 1 FACTS, PROJECTIONS, VOIDS: MILESTONES OF AUSTRIAN JEWISH HISTORY Dr Martha Keil, Institute for Jewish History in Austria Not even the largest exhibition would be able to cover Austrian-Jewish History in its entirety, and of course, this short paper cannot provide a complete survey of the more than eight centuries of Jewish life in Austria either. A lot of research has been done especially since the so called Bedenkjahr 1988, 50 years after the “Anschluss” and shortly after the heavy debates around the NS-past of Kurt Waldheim, then president of Austria. The amount of data is huge, thousands of documents from the Middle Ages up to present were edited, hundreds of Audio- and Video-interviews were recorded, and dozens of books were published. Preparing this paper, I had to make up my mind and select events that, according to scientific common sense, and in my personal opinion, were milestones in the course of this history, positive or negative ones. Of course, I am not the first who tried to solve the problem in this way. This very place was the location of an impressive way to structure and present Jewish Austrian history. I am talking about the opening exhibition of the Jewish Museum Vienna, which was shown from 21.11. 1993 till 15. Mai 1994, almost exactly nineteen years ago. As many of you probably remember, the title was “Hier hat Teitelbaum gewohnt” – “Teitelbaum lived here”, curated by then chief curator Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek, accompanied by a beautiful catalogue of unusual size.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Collecting a library, besides being the unusual thing and far from trivial or vulgar, may turn out to be one of those happy tokens . since, being extraordinary, difficult, and of great expense, it cannot but cause everyone to speak well, and with admiration, of him who puts it into effect. —Gabriel Naudé, Advice on Establishing a Library, 1627 IN THE CEmETERy OF THE Prague Jewish community, clear of the cluttered interior of overlaid monuments, a tombstone stands adorned with a Shield of David to invoke the namesake of the man buried beneath: David Oppenheim (1664–1736), Prague’s chief rabbi from 1703 until his death. Tourists and visitors to the crowded burial ground can take photos of the monument or pay their respects, but for students of the Jewish past, a sec- ond edifice far from Prague memorializes in a more fitting manner the story of this man in history and memory: his formidable library. In the Bodleian Library of the University of Oxford some forty- five hundred books and one thousand manuscripts bear testimony to the insatiable collecting activities of this man in search of a library that would include every Jewish book.1 Over the course of his lifetime, Oppenheim bought, found, published, and received books and manuscripts from across Europe and the Middle East, many of which carried traces of previous owners and prior journeys of these objects before they found their final resting place upon his shelves. Oppenheim’s library has served scholars of the Jewish past in de- cisive ways. Medieval manuscripts drawn

A 313/350 Studienblatt: Studienrichtung lt. Lehramt Geschichte und Sozialkunde und Italienisch Studienblatt: Betreuerin / Betreuer: Privatdoz. Mag. Dr. Peter Rauscher Vorwort und Danksagung Schon vor dem Schreiben der Diplomarbeit war mir klar, dass dies für mich eine spannende Aufgabe, aber auch eine Herausforderung werden wird. Nicht nur, dass man viel Energie und Zeit für ein solches Vorhaben braucht, so benötigt man vor allem auch Motivation und Menschen die einen dabei unterstützen. Daher möchte ich mich auf diesem Weg bei denjenigen bedanken, auf die ich während der Entstehungsphase der Diplomarbeit und meiner gesamten Studienzeit zählen konnte: Allen voran meinen Eltern, Christa und Edmund Wurzer, die mich nicht nur finanziell, sondern auch moralisch unterstützt haben und meine Entscheidungen nie in Frage gestellt haben. Meinem Betreuer, Dr. Peter Rauscher, der mir immer mit Literaturtipps und wissenschaftlichen Anregungen weitergeholfen hat und sich die Zeit genommen hat, meine Entwürfe durchzulesen, dabei trotzdem nicht müde wurde mich zu fragen: „Wann bekomme ich dann ihre fertige Arbeit?“. Weiters meinen Geschwistern Sabrina und Lukas, die zu den wichtigsten Personen in meinen Leben gehören, und mir viel Kraft geben. Meinen langjährigen Freundinnen und Freunden einfach dafür, dass sie immer da waren und mich auch manchmal abgelenkt haben, um wieder neue Energie zu tanken. Nicht zuletzt meinen Studienkolleginnen, die die Studienzeit mit mir „durchgestanden“ haben und mir sehr ans Herz gewachsen sind. Mein besonderer Dank gilt außerdem all jenen, die sich die Mühe gemacht haben meine Arbeit Korrektur zu lesen und mich bei der Formatierung der Arbeit unterstützt haben.
