The Austrian-Jewish playwright and novelist Arthur
Schnitzler (1862-1931) with his wife Olga and his children Heinrich
and Lily. Jews in Central and Eastern Europe suffered most from
the oppression and economic insecurity brought about by
anti-Jewish policies. Only by the 19th century did Jewish
communities begin to prosper and could Jews enjoy civil
freedoms. Arthur Schnitzler belongs to the first generation of
European Jews to profit from these new cultural and
economic opportunities.
Vienna, 1910 |
