Abstract
Abstract:While often regarded as an emigration country, the case of numerous Jews from Salonica who migrated to the Habsburg Empire demonstrates that, in the fin-de- siècle period, it was an immigration country as well. By bringing to light unresearched archival material, this article traces the preconditions that led to migration to the Habsburg Empire and its particular characteristics. The examination of the socioeconomic characteristics of the persons in question and their migration patterns contribute to a more nuanced understanding of broader issues such as the influence of Austria-Hungary in southeastern Europe and the Jewish emigration from Salonica at the turn of the nineteenth century.

It is the flagship publication of the Austrian Studies Association and contains contributions in German and English from the world''s premiere scholars in the field of Austrian studies. The journal highlights scholarly work that draws on innovative methodologies and new ways of viewing Austrian history and culture.
