Founded in 1918 as the smallest successor state of the Habsburg Empire, the Republic of Austria was designed as a parliamentary democracy by political parties deeply rooted in pre-war Austria. The borders of the republic were defined by the Entente (France, Great Britain, the United States, and Italy; Russia was absent), who remade the maps of Europe and the Middle East to their advantage. Republican Austria failed in 1933 and 1934, the victim of explosive internal conflicts and authoritarian tendencies. Re-designed as a semi-fascist state, Austria was occupied and annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938. In 1945, Austria was reborn as a democratic republic—again, due to the interests of the victors of World War II. However, this time Austria flourished in the form of a stable, liberal Western democracy. Austria learned its lessons—it has accepted its independence from Germany, and it has recognized Austrian co-responsibility for the Holocaust and the crimes of Nazism. After 2000, Austrian politics changed again and the country is now more like other West European democracies, including its turn toward populism. The article concludes that ideological secularization and Europeanization are responsible for a decline of political predictability in contemporary Austria.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121007757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Caught between these groups was Moritz von Haber, the son of an ennobled court banker. These groups viewed the Haber Affair through their personal views of Haber and his perceived transgressions, but ultimately as a litmus test of the limits of Jewish integration and whether or not German Jews deserved full emancipation. The Haber Affair also demonstrated how latent Jew-hatred could be re-activated quickly in society and how the German State participated in fomenting this violence.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123505287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This does not mean, however, that anti-Jewish attitudes have disappeared from Czech society. While it is not an immediate threat, the phenomenon persists in certain specific political and cultural circles. The first section of this article examines the major characteristics of Czech antisemitism through statistics, polls, and other indicators. The second section explores the ideological sources and visual forms of Czech antisemitism. Unlike Western Europe and the United States, the Czech Republic faces challenges involving more traditional forms of antisemitism, such as conspiracy theories and even the blood-libel, which do not respect partisan political divisions and often lead to unexpected alliances.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115940306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the contrary, this article argues that antisemitism, if one takes Sartre’s decisionist theory of freedom seriously, mutates into a blind, inexplicable, and incomprehensible fate, and that the alleged total responsibility for antisemitism as a mode of “bad faith” (mauvaise foi) turns into total unfreedom.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124080059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
