Description

Summary

Analyzes Austrian attitudes toward Jews, Austrian (rather than German) identity, and Nazism, on the basis of quotes from the press and public opinion polls conducted since 1945 (chiefly since 1970), analyzing especially the span of disagreement and age differences. Concludes that the (very low) percentage of those polled who agreed with antisemitic statements or disagreed with non-antisemitic ones remained stable or even increased slightly over the years. The same was true of the very low percentages agreeing with denial of the Holocaust and the relatively large percentage of Austrians who felt that Jews today instrumentalize the Holocaust. Antisemitic answers tended to increase with age.
