Welcome to Jewish Vienna

Think Vienna and think Schoenberg, Schnitzler und Freud! These are just three Jewish names (among countless others) that immediately pop into mind, people who have contributed significantly to Vienna’s international reputation as a city of intellectuals and artists. No matter where one walks in this European metropolis, the visitor comes across monuments of a vibrant Jewish life and history around every corner.

Keeping the memory of the Shoah alive is a never-ending task for a city in which at times every tenth person was Jewish. Today, orthodox and liberal Jewish institutions of Vienna work for the future. The creation of new schools and education facilities, cultural exhibits and prayer rooms is contributing substantially to a pluralistic Jewish community.
