The collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918 left all Austrians in a state of        political, social, and economic turmoil, but Jews in particular found their lives        shaken to the core. Although Jews' former comfort zone suddenly disappeared, the        dissolution of the Dual Monarchy also created plenty of room for innovation and        change in the realm of culture. Jews eagerly took up the challenge to fill this        void, and they became heavily invested in culture as a way to shape their new, but        also vexed, self-understandings.By isolating the years between the World Wars and        examining formative events in both Vienna and the provinces, Becoming Austrians:        Jews and Culture between the World Wars demonstrates that an intensified marking of        people, places, and events as "e;Jewish"e; accompanied the crises occurring in the wake        of Austria-Hungary's collapse, with profound effects on Austria's cultural legacy.          In some cases, the consequences of this marking resulted in grave injustices.          Philipp Halsmann, for example, was wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of his        father years before he became a world-famous photographer. And the men who shot and        killed writer Hugo Bettauer and philosopher Moritz Schlick received inadequate        punishment for their murderous deeds.But engagements with the terms of Jewish        difference also characterized the creation of culture, as shown in Hugo Bettauer's        satirical novel The City without Jews and its film adaptation, other texts by Veza        Canetti, David Vogel, A.M. Fuchs, Vicki Baum, and Mela Hartwig, and performances at        the Salzburg Festival and the Yiddish theater in Vienna. By examining the lives,        works, and deeds of a broad range of Austrians, Lisa Silverman reveals how the        social codings of politics, gender, and nation received a powerful boost when        articulated along the lines of Jewish difference.
