Abstract
The article discusses the situation and condition of the European Jews in Europe. The political situation in Austria initiated the call for the immigration of the Jews to Israel. The treasurer of the Jewish Agency, Chaim Chestler, called on the Jews in Austria to immigrate to Israel following a victory in the Austrian elections. Zionism was the viable mode of cultural identification Jews in Austria. However, the Jews came to understand that their European citizenship served as protection against virulent nationalism and threat of antisemitism.
