Cyntherea What Happened

Summary

The review was, as I have thus gained the impression that passed largely positive:) Many people on the day of the trial, the day before again looked into the blog (120 views on Monday, 104 calls, mostly at 11 clock in the morning, Tuesday: )) Thanks also for various Lobe (plural of praise?) that I got. It was not easy to write each guest a reasonably good report, especially since one of the gaps, things that are missing from a liquid to a text, often noticed only after the event (and during the discussions, I can not even every three minutes between question that I would not presume). Then come back always Paragraphs, sentences, phrases before, where you can say: Yes, well and good, but what is now actually the wife of Mr. X, now that we have just learned how his parents, his children, his uncles and aunts and his pets hot. The problem in such a case is not then that I had forgotten it (maximum extent that I'm not in demand during the LV), but that I just do not know or can also happen to have heard.

In this sense, I understand very well what Oscar Bronner says, when he says that he himself can not or will not (more) actually write journalistically. So can he do it certainly, as seen in particular the early years of his career noticed, but since he can afford to employ journalists, obviously he does not like it. And for the reason that he, when he researched on a story can not possibly stop the search as long as one essential thing unclear, unconfirmed or incomplete (which he has either been said here, or I habs in an interview or Bio-neck reads) . So you can work at a daily newspaper, of course, impossible at that time pressure which prevails today, probably even more than before. In this sense, one wishes to still work on a daily, incompleteness take into account, and, even if it is safe do not like to admit to risk inaccuracy, sloppiness. Not that that would have been here my ideology: I have on each of these posts for about two hours, even in many three, four, or - even more hours worked - because spread over several days. The tendency always until I no longer was able to stuff gaps through Internet searches. Gaps that had to be unfortunately taken from the talks. Also, the quote was not always easy: Because I can not do shorthand, it was hard, more than a handful to give statements in the original sound again. If I was not comfortable with a quote, I have a rule as an indirect quote or spirit of play.

As for the summary: I was thinking originally to be compiled at the end of a summary review, in which all the main points of the LV, continuities in the interview guests, sorted by topic together. So what A said about Kreisky what B, C, etc. However, what that would be something much effort, especially since the test is in any case already beaten and otherwise not really a necessity, let alone an audience for it exists. Nevertheless, although the LV is over now, I fight every day for 5 to 10 views, largely because of search engine results.

wants only one thing holding me finish off: I hope very much that there is a continuation of this discussion series there, if only because of the great guests that unfortunately, for what ever reason, could not come contrary to the announcement: Ruth Beckermann, Paul Lendvai, Ioan Holender.

But there are many other individuals who qualify as an interesting conversation or curfew. About Karl Pfeifer, those impressive fighter, currently in the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance work, and was represented in his defamation lawsuits against right by Gabriel Lansky.

Or Eric Pleskow, in 1938, 14 years old, had to leave Austria and a soldier in the Army during the liberation of Austria and the following Denazification participated. He led, the Wikipedia, also interrogations with ex-Nazis. Was he, by the Friedrich Peter was so impressed that all anti-Semitism had disappeared from it? (Friedrich Peter, FPÖ-Vice-Chancellor under Kreisky, country man once said that he was at an interrogation after the war by a Jewish U.S. officer had been slapped, which caused him so impressed that he had been exempted from anti-Semitism) Plescow was finally film officer, summarized foot in the U.S. film industry produced, including Woody Allen's great city sufferers and only came of age back again to Austria, where he has led since 1998, the Viennale.

The absolute sensation would be good, could Peter Kreisky, the son of Bruno Kreisky, which we have received this semester almost weekly detailed stories happened, personally favor this lecture and talk about his father. The only question is whether he would be ready.

would be somewhat more difficult it may have received the ORF correspondent in Tel Aviv, Ben Blessed, at the Vienna University. He would find Danielle Spera one of the few who were born after 1945 - as he visited the French School in Vienna Spera, then, so Muzicant, a popular alternative to the closed Jewish schools - and, in contrast to Spera, 1983 after Israel emigrated. Unlike Ronald Barazon, who, like many Austrian Jews, was born in exile in Tel Aviv, after the war, but the weather in Austria (not necessarily in the political sense) that Israel would have preferred. According Torberg supposed to Marcel Prawy, would he still alive, give also a good conversation partner would, once to fight raised on the Six-Day War (or was it another war?) And its obligation as a Jew in Israel , said: "I am Wiener, what I do in the desert?" (something like that anyway) Also Barazon completed the way the Lycée Francaise. would

From the arts Andre Heller certainly an interesting conversationalist. He, like Otto Schenk paternal Jewish roots and was born in 1947 in Vienna. Me as a friend and film-Torberg admirer of special concern would also Wolfgang Glück, who this year turns 80 Birthday celebrating. He created films about the Torberg The student Gerber and 38 - also was Vienna. As I mentioned previously did not know, but in a standard interview was: Even happiness comes from a Jewish family. How did he 1929-1947, the year begint in the Internet sources in all his biography, lived under these conditions is not documented on the web. A Biography exists to my knowledge, not (yet).

Staying with the arts. What many ORF-up to that report might not know (it does so in and of itself not matter), Pop musician Billy Joel has Jewish parents. What probably knew even less: They came from Germany. And what now but really no one would have thought: Billy Joel's father, Helmut (Howard) Joel lives in Vienna. His times son from his second marriage, Alexander Joel, pianist and Dirgent and lives, so Wikipedia, also in Vienna. What would be said to Jewish identity in Austria ?

And what's up with Georg Kreisler? If the concerts yet? Unbelievable - Of felt 100 years ago (he is now 87, well, Zadek is older!) Still give concerts, the most recent of which I know was in 2004, but maybe it was after that what?

One could certainly be some other more or less well-known Jewish personalities mentioned, living in Austria, but those are my most famous (and still were not there), I have now mentioned. Where there probably are other figures of whom is not related or little known that they are Jews. Wolfgang luck would probably be such a person - at least to me, no bio is known in this regard is something mentioned. There are certainly some more or less standing in the public people who want to talk publicly is not necessarily about their Jewish identity, it is because they do not their religion as a private matter want to wear in public, or because they might, like Charles Lewinsky (book: "Just an Ordinary Jew" says), do not tell the "exhibit" something about Judaism.

Anyway, I found this course very informative, I learned very much new - especially to Bruno Kreisky ;-) I hope there is a sequel. Until then, au revoir.
