The Habsburg Empire was an alliance of some 30 nationalities
which after [1918] wanted independence or at least autonomy.
Only one nationality didn't. The Jews.
Not that there was no anti-Semitism in the Empire which
Was Catholic and Franz Josef an Apostolic Majesty
but it was anti-Semitism Extra- Light version.
We responded by becoming Austrians( some more
sSuccessfuly than others:
Speaking, dressing , singing , fighting .
And with a Habsburg mustache of course
No better Austrians you would find.
Then ,out of a sudden, the magic was gone .
Poof !!
