In the last third of the nineteenth century, the discourse on the
“Jewish question” in the Habsburg crownlands of Galicia changed
fundamentally, as clerical and populist politicians emerged to
denounce the Jewish assimilation and citizenship. This pioneering
study investigates the interaction of agitation, violence, and
politics against Jews on the periphery of the Danube monarchy. In
its comprehensive analysis of the functions and limitations of
propaganda, rumors, and mass media, it shows just how significant
antisemitism was to the politics of coexistence among Christians
and Jews on the eve of the Great War.
Eastern European museums represent traumatic events of World War
II, such as the Siege of Leningrad, the Warsaw Uprisings, and the
Bombardment of Dresden, in ways that depict the enemy in particular
ways. This image results from the interweaving of historical
representations, cultural stereotypes and beliefs, political
discourses, and the dynamics of exhibition narratives. This book
presents a useful methodology for examining museum images and
provides a critical analysis of the role historical museums play in
the contemporary world. As the catastrophes of World War II still
exert an enormous influence on the national identities of Russians,
Poles, and Germans, museum exhibits can thus play an important role
in this process.
