Eichmann's Jews. The Jewish Administration of Holocaust Vienna, 1938-1945

The question of the collaboration of Jews with the Nazi regime during the persecution and extermination of European Jewry is one of the most difficult and sensitive issues surrounding the Holocaust. How could people be forced to cooperate in their own destruction? Why would they help the Nazi authorities round up their own people for deportation, manage the'collection points'and supervise the people being deported until the last moment? This book is a major new study of the role of the Jews, and more specifically the'Judenrat'or Jewish Council, in Holocaust Vienna. It was in Vienna that Eichmann developed and tested his model for a Nazi Jewish policy from 1938 onwards, and the leaders of the Viennese Jewish community were the prototypes for all subsequent Jewish councils. By studying the situation in Vienna, it is possible to gain a unique insight into the way that the Nazi regime incorporated the Jewish community into its machinery of destruction. Drawing on recently discovered archives and extensive interviews, Doron Rabinovici explores in detail the actions of individual Jews and Jewish organizations and shows how all of their strategies to protect themselves and others were ultimately doomed to failure. His rich and insightful account enables us to understand in a new way the terrible reality of the victims'plight: faced with the stark choice of death or cooperation, many chose to cooperate with the authorities in the hope that their actions might turn out to be the lesser evil.

Overview

In 1994, Suhrkamp published his first book Papirnik, a collection of short stories most of them set in Vienna's Jewish environment. Three years later his first novel, Suche nach M. (Search for M.), was published which was translated into English by the US publishing company Ariadne Press. Search for M. is the portrayal of two families with Shoah survivors and their sons who live with memories they can’t express in the midst of the Austrians’ negation and denial of their past. In 2004 his new novel, Ohnehin (Anyway) was published. In this novel, the main protagonist Stefan Sandtner, a young neurologist, is confronted with a patient whose sudden and bewildering illness of the mind causes his memory to fail and sets him back in the year 1945. Herbert Kerber is stuck in his past as an SS officer. The novel's apparent lightness contrasts with the fundamental issues dealt with: hidden and present past, remembering and forgetting.

His doctoral thesis concerns the reaction of the Viennese Jewish community’s administration to the persecution by the National Socialists and the community’s consequent extermination. In 2000, the Suhrkamp branch Juedischer Verlag published his thesis under the title Instanzen der Ohnmacht. („Authorities of Powerlessness") which raises the painful questions of resistance and collusion that have come to dominate recent debates on the Holocaust.

In 2001, he wrote Credo and Credit, a collection of essays and articles about literature and politics. By combining serious and ironic texts, he speaks about his identity as a Jew who was born in Israel, lives in Vienna and writes in German. He has been awarded numerous literature prizes, most recently the Clemens-Brentano-prize of Heidelberg and the Jean-Améry-prize, both in 2002. In Austria Doron Rabinovici is known as an intellectual voice against racism and anti-semitism.

Politics

Since 1986 Rabinovici is speaker of the Republican Club New Austria, an intellectual group that was formed against the background of the anti-Semitic presidential campaign of Kurt Waldheim. In 1999 he became the speaker of Demokratische Offensive (Democratic Offensive), a movement geared to mobilize the Austrian civil society against the threat of a center-right coalition with Haider's extreme right-wing party. The Demokratische Offensive called for mass demonstrations against racism. The response was overwhelming – in February 2000, 300,000 people assembled on Vienna's historic Heldenplatz to stage the largest demonstration in Austria's post-war history.
