The First Europeans
Habsburg and Other Jews - A Wolrd Before 1914


The idea of Europe was anticipated from the early modern period onward by the reality-oriented life situation of Jews in Europe. Because of particular and varying legal conditions, their existence was dependent on a proto-European network system. The planned exhibition and the accompanying comprehensive event and educational program starts out with Central Europe as point of departure to shed light on that approach toward a European community.
