White Places of Jewish Moravia and Vienna
White Places of Jewish Moravia and Vienna 6 April 2025 "Moravia has been a haven for Jews from neighbouring countries for centuries, and these newcomers have contributed in many ways to the culture, society and religious life of Moravian Jews. From the mid-18th century onwards, Moravia tended to produce Jewish migrants itself, first because of repressive restrictions on residence, employment and marriage, and then, paradoxically, because of the freedoms brought by emancipation, first in 1848 and finally in 1867. As a result, Moravian Jews dispersed throughout Europe and contributed to many religious, political, scientific, musical, and ideological movements of the 19th and 20th centuries." These were the words with which Michael L. Miller opened his lecture Moravian Jews: a European Perspective at last year's conference. Let us reflect together on the overlap of Jewish Moravia into Vienna and vice versa on the role of Vienna and Lower Austria in the life of the Moravian Jewish communities.As a keynote speaker, our invitation was accepted by Prof. Dr Christfried Tögel -editor of several editions of Sigmund Freud's letters and author of 10 books on dream research and Freud's biography, editor of the complete edition of Sigmund Freud's work in 23 volumes Sigmund Freud - Hauptseite. Please send your proposals for papers on the white spaces in the relationship between Jewish Moravia and Lower Austria across time that you have been able to cover through research or that you suspect are still waiting to be explored, up to 150 words, to muzeum@malymehrin.cz by 31 January 2025.We will finalize the conference program during February.
