Buchstäblich wahr! Die Auswanderung der Wiener Juden nach Amerika. [Literally true! The Emigration of Viennese Jews to America]

(AMERICAN JUDAICA)

Leopold Sommer

(Vienna)

(1848-1850)

This antisemitic broadside celebrates the emigration of Jews from Austria to America."Perhaps the climate of America will seduce the Jews to do something they have never done before: Work! " Allusion is made to an earlier, unsuccessful emigration of Prague Jewry: “In the time of King Wenzel, they emigrated from Prague with flags raised, 10,000 [Jews] on their way to Africa. There they hoped to establish a new Kingdom of Judah as they believed the Messiah had arrived there.” See EJ, Vol. XIII, col. 965.
