From the publisher's blurb, "One of the largest Jewish communities in Europe, a meeting ground of Jews from East and West, Viennese Jewry represented the full spectrum of Jewish political ideologies. Could these varied political groupings, competing for the allegiance of Vienna's Jews, devise effective solutions to the problems of antisemitism, increasing poverty, and assimilation? This study examines the programs and strategies adopted by Liberal, Nationalist, Socialist, and Orthodox Jewish groups in an ultimately vain effort to secure Jewish survival."
