One hundred years after the outbreak of the First World War, the Jewish Museum Hohenems looks back in an exhibition on the lifeworlds of the “Habsburg Jews:“ on their experiences, their hopes for a European unification, and their illusions about the multiethnic Habsburg Empire. Their connections across borders and their mobility rendered them active mediators between cultures and regions, a dynamic element of European development. In their life stories, represented in the selected objects, all aspects of a past and disappointed, abused, but still vibrant European hope are reflected.

Catalog accompanying the exhibition in the Jewish Museum Hohenems from March 25 to October 5, 2014.
