- Antisemitism_in_contemporary_Austria abstract "Evidences for the presence of Jewish communities in the geographical area today covered by Austria can be traced back to the 12th century. In 1848 Jews were granted civil rights and the right to establish an autonomous religious community, but full citizenship rights were given only in 1867. In an atmosphere of economic, religious and social freedom, the Jewish population grew from 6,000 in 1860 to almost 185,000 in 1938. In March 1938, Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany and thousands of Austrians and Austrian Jews who opposed Nazi rule were sent to concentration camps. Of the 65,000 Viennese Jews deported to concentration camps, only about 2,000 survived, while around 800 survived World War II in hiding.Antisemitism did not cease to exist in the aftermath of World War II and continued to be part of Austrian political life and culture with its strongest hold in the political parties and the media. Bernd Marin, an Austrian sociologist, has characterized antisemitism in Austria after 1945 as an ‘antisemitism without Jews’, since Jews constituted only .1 percent of the Austrian population. Antisemitism was stronger in those areas where Jews no longer lived and where previously practically no Jews had lived, and among people who neither have had nor have any personal contact with Jews. Since post-war prejudice against Jews has been publicly forbidden and tabooed, antisemitism was actually 'antisemitism without antisemites', but different expressions to it were to be found in the Austrian polities. During the 80', the taboo against open expressions of explicitly antisemitic beliefs has remained, but the means of circumventing it linguistically have extended its boundaries in such a way that the taboo itself appears to have lost some of its significance. Anti-Jewish prejudices which had remained hidden began to surface and were increasingly found in public settings. Thus, verbal antisemitism was rarely expressed directly, but rather used coded expressions, which reflected one of the country's major characteristics - ambivalence and ambiguity toward its past.Today the Jewish community of Austria consists of about 8,000 persons. The ‘Jewish Faith’ community is the fifth largest recognized religious community in Austria with the status of a corporation under public law. Nevertheless, antisemitism in contemporary Austria seems to focus more on diffused and traditional stereotypes than on acts of physical aggression. It is a main ideological component of most extreme right-wing groups and their publications in Austria. Extreme rightist and neo-Nazi groups have intensified their activities since 2000, encouraged by the FPÖ electoral success in March 1999. During the first years of the 21st century, themes directly concerned with the National Socialist past have been repeatedly debated in the public sphere: demonstrations were held against the Wehrmacht exhibition, there was controversy regarding a Holocaust memorial that was officially opened in 2000 and the question of restitution.According to the CFCA (the Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism) there have been more than 15 antisemitic incidents during the years 2012-2013. Most of them included swastikas draws, desecrate of Jewish graves, tarnish of the Stepping Stones in Salzburg (stones that commemorate names of people murdered during the holocaust), and even an expulsion of Hasidic young man from a vacation apartment, because of his Judaism. During 2014 two stepping stones were vandalized again. On July that year, while operation Protective Edge took place in Gaza Strip, a training match between Israel and Austria football squads ended with violent attack of the Israeli team by some Austrian pro-Palestinian fans. Couple of months later, a biker dresses as a neo-Nazi waved a knife at passers-by next to the synagogue in Vienna, while shouting xenophobic and antisemitic slogans. Additionally, a monument commemorating the holocaust victims was defaced in the capital.In the beginning of 2015 there were three incidents of antisemitic graffiti in Austria. All of them were on a memorials of the holocaust: In Mathausen concentration camp, in Hietzing and on a wall at Salzburg. Later that year, another antisemitic attack occurred when plaques dedicated to Jewish victims of the Holocaust were desecrated in Wiener Neustadt. On July that year, an antisemitic act occurred in the Religions Campus in Aspern when a pole with a Star of David flag was toppled and a swastika was sprayed on it. The act was condemned by the Archbishop of Vienna.".
