Was part of his success due to the fact that he was able to get all the contradictions of his home country done on paper like none other? It was only through this author, who is largely forgotten today, that Americans came to know Austria's fissured soul. He received American citizenship, and returned to Austria in as a theater and music commissioner of the US Department of State. But his once beloved home country had become foreign to the Jewish author. His experience of continued anti-Semitism can be found in his novel Return to Vienna , and in his autobiography The Miracle of Survival. Lothar passed away shortly after his 84th birthday in Vienna.

Overview All Vienna knows that the inhabitant of number 10 Seilerstatte is none other than Christopher Alt, piano maker, the best in Vienna, probably in all of Austria, and possiblly the world over. His piano keys have given life to melodies by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and many more. On his deathbed, moved by the wish to keep his children united, he leaves a will specifying that his descendants, if they are to get their inheritance, must live together in the family home. There is intrigue at the court of Franz-Josef: an heir to the throne has fallen in love with Henrietta Alt, who will have to carry the guilt for his eventual suicide. There are betrayals, beloved illegitimate children, and despised legitimate offspring. There are seething passions and icy relations, a world war and the rise of Nazism to contend with. There are duals, ambitions, hopes, affairs of the heart and affairs of state. Three generations of Alts live and die at number 10 Silerstatte and each member of the family, in his or or her own way, is a privileged witness to the winds of change and a Europe at the height of both its splendor and decadence.

Description All Vienna knows that the inhabitant of number 10 Seilerstatte is none other than Christopher Alt, piano maker, the best in Vienna, probably in all of Austria, and possiblly the world over. His piano keys have given life to melodies by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and many more. On his deathbed, moved by the wish to keep his children united, he leaves a will specifying that his descendants, if they are to get their inheritance, must live together in the family home. Yet another son, Hans, one more misfit in the Alt family, takes a class from Sigmund Freud and ends up marrying a social reforming Jew. Hans — first soldier, then prisoner of war — is forever changed by what he witnesses. The Alt family loses cohesiveness. There is backbiting, adultery, a duel, even murder — connected, we discover, to the political ideas poisoning the air. Although Lothar develops some complexity in his main characters — Franz, Henriette and Hans — the true subject of the novel is Austria, from which he fled in , the year the novel ends. His melancholy and feelings of regret for his native land are palpable. Katherine A. Powers, Home All Sections Search. Log In Welcome, User.

When his life ended, he left behind a will containing an extraordinary clause.

Jefferson: Mcfarland, 2007. 328 pp. $75.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-7864-3733-7. Reviewed by John Warren (Oxford Brookes University) Published on HABSBURG (April, 2010) Commissioned by Jonathan Kwan A Very Timely Celebration of One Hundred Years of Austrian Cinema I suppose one must start with an acceptance that Austria's place in public consciousness as a filmmaking nation is not strong, but we now have a book, Robert von Dassanowsky'sAustrian Cinema, that provides a complete picture of cinema in Austria from 1895 to the early party of the twenty-first century. This reprint in paperback of the original case bound edition (published in 2005) is a valuable and brave venture, revealing that this small state has made many important contributions to the development of film, even if most of them have been abroad, most notably in Berlin and in Hollywood. Within some 285 pages of text, Dassanowsky has covered the widest possible range of topics: films and different film genres, directors, actors, production companies, finance, international connections and cooperation, and last but by no means least much reference to the Austrian political situation at various key periods in the development of its film industry. The author has organized the telling of the story into seven chronologically based chapters, outlining over one hundred years of Austrian cinema, and it will make sense if I briefly summarize their content, the last chapter bringing us into an important and successful phase of Austrian cinema, Austrian cinema in the twenty-first century.

  • The Compromise of Return: Viennese Jews After the Holocaust
    PRAISE FOR THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN “In an engaging, thoroughly researched study, Elizabeth Anthony reveals how and why Jewish returnees came back to ‘their’ city, Vienna, but not to Austria. They persisted in reclaiming their familial, professional, and polit- ical homes, as they compromised with ongoing individual and governmen- tal antisemitism, including the refusal to return their property. Elegantly written, Anthony’s book highlights the hardships and disappointments of Jewish survivors as they settled back ‘home.’” —Marion Kaplan, author of Hitler’s Jewish Refugees: Hope and Anxiety in Portugal “With The Compromise of Return Elizabeth Anthony brings history alive. She paints a vivid picture of the life of Jewish Austrians who chose to remain in or returned to Vienna after the fall of the Nazi regime. Through poignant personal interviews coupled with meticulous archival research and in conversation with international scholarship, the author convinc- ingly argues how their unique Jewish-Viennese identities allowed them to remain in an anti-Semitic society that presented itself as Hitler’s first vic- tim. The Compromise of Return, the first comprehensive English-language study on the topic, constitutes a major contribution to post-war Austrian and Holocaust histories.” —Jacqueline Vansant, author of Reclaiming Heimat: Trauma and Mourning in Memoirs by Jewish Austrian Reémigrés “Deeply researched and beautifully written, this book tells the poignant story of Jewish survivors’ return to Vienna, really for the first time. Brim- ming with insights, it gives voice to the returnees; it is they who stand at the core of this history.” —Dirk Rupnow, Institute for Contemporary History, University of Innsbruck The Compromise of Return THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN VIENNESE JEWS AFTER THE HOLOCAUST ELIZABETH ANTHONY WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS Detroit © 2021 by Elizabeth Anthony.

  • Guide to the Max Reinhardt Collection
    GUIDE TO THE MAX REINHARDT COLLECTION BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The celebrated theater director Max Reinhardt, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. Born Maximilian Goldmann into an impecunious lower middle-class merchant family, Reinhardt (initially a stage name) began his career as a struggling young actor in Vienna and Salzburg. In 1894 he was invited to Berlin by Otto Brahm, the renowned director of the Deutsches Theater, where the young actor quickly gained critical acclaim for his convincing portrayals of old men. Eager to escape the gloom and doom of the prevailing Naturalist style, Reinhardt in 1901 co-founded an avant-garde literary cabaret called Sound and Smoke (Schall und Rauch), the allusion being to a poem by Goethe. This cabaret theater perceptively satirized the fashions of current theatrical theory and practice and came to function as an experimental laboratory for the future director.
