Jewish Vienna: A City of Two Tales
Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning
The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Education presents a three-part series on Vienna at the dawn of the 20th century, a city that became both the cradle of modern Zionism and the breeding ground of genocidal antisemitism. Led by Dr. Steven Chervin, the course examines the cultural, political, and ideological forces that shaped figures such as Theodor Herzl and Adolf Hitler, exploring how the same city could nurture dreams of redemption and seeds of destruction. By tracing these divergent paths, the series reflects on what Vienna’s history reveals about Jewish identity, polarization, and the moral challenges of our own time.
