On second thought maybe I didn't explain that Gerold Tennhauser (later =
Tenney) grew up in Vienna and went to study in Zurich when the nazis to =
power. My father didn't have problems going to Vienna because he served =
in Austrian army during WW1. The main reason he (and many others) went =
to study there or other parts of former Austria was because he didn't =
know the Romanian language.

=D7=A0=D7=95=D7=A9=D7=90: Re: [Cz-L] jewish migration
=20
Dear All,
=20
thanks a lot for your starting answers! I hope a lot more will follow, =
because I already learned new things, like remigration from Austria to =
Bukowina.
=20
I would like to pick up your mail Yosef to answer in general, to make my =
point more clearer.
Visiting the university of Vienna before the end of the monarchy is not =
extraordinary - visiting it afterward is indeed: as Romanian citizen you =
were accepted as =E2=80=9Eau=C3=9Ferordentlicher Hoehrer=E2=80=9C =
(exceptional Listener), you had to pay more fees to get a student. But =
keeping in mind that the Romanian government refused approx. 100k =
Bukovinians citizenship - they didn=E2=80=99t had any possibility for =
even traveling.
=20
The migration to Austria in interwar-period ist completely different =
from the time before - bureaucratic but even more the spirit, the mood =
on both sides of the journey. The starting Romanization in Bukowina =
tries to get rid of all minorities - but in especially of the Jews. And =
I believe that this regression was harder to stand after a period of =
relative tolerance. There is as well the question of loyalty, because =
large sections of the jewish population stayed loyal to Austria and felt =
themselves associated (although the republic was not the monarchy =
anymore and chancellor Renner not Kaiser Franz Josef - neither de facto =
nor emotional). ,Austria and especially Vienna stayed their homeland, =
Romania never got=E2=80=99 (translated quoted from Felix Zuckermann). =
But in Austria not only the political system changed: National-socialism =
didn=E2=80=99t fall from heaven, Anti-Semitism was constantly present =
and the =E2=80=9EOstjuden=E2=80=9C (eastern jewry) were one of the main =
objectives. But in interwar-period the =E2=80=9EOstjuden=E2=80=9C were =
already gone (see e.g. Mettauer, Staudinger: =E2=80=9EOstjuden=E2=80=9C =
Geschichte und Mythos) and so the clich=C3=A9 of the poor, uneducated, =
deeply religious =E2=80=9ESchtettl-Juden=E2=80=9C got on the one hand an =
=E2=80=9EAnti-semitsm without Jews=E2=80=9C (Paul Lendvai) and one the =
other hand the stereotypes (or part of it) were transported and =
projected on all jews. The drawn Anti-semitic pictures of that time will =
find their way to the St=C3=BCrmer. The first National-Socialistic Party =
(by the name) was not established in Germany it was founded in Styria, =
Austria.
=20
And - as far as I see it now - it was a different migration after the =
war: within the war all social groups made their way to Austria; they =
were war refugees and pretty much all of them left with the end of the =
war: most went =E2=80=9Ehome", others went further, especially to the =
US. The people who came to Austria in interwar-period were mainly upper =
class, who could afford. This is obvious, when you see in what districts =
the migrants lived: within the war, especially in cheap, =
workers-districts like Meidling,Favoriten, Ottakring, etc. The migrants =
who came after the war mainly moved to Leopoldstadt, Mariahilf, Neubau =
and Josefstadt - or even to Hietzing and Grinzing. Most of them were =
highly educated or higher civil servants.

Please keep going on, sending your family histories!

All the best, Benjamin
