Jewish survivors and refugees in Europe after the War were uprooted and traumatised. The Jewish youth movements in Vienna today represent a continuation of an older tradition but also symbolise the new identity of young people in a modern society. The Jewish Museum is open from 10 am to 6 pm Sunday to Friday, with late opening until 8 pm on Thursdays. Free guided tours in German are available on Sundays at 12 noon and 3 pm and Thursdays at 6.30 pm. There are also guided tours of the permanent exhibitions on Sundays at 4 pm.
School classes accompanied by a teacher have free admittance and a guided tour.
For this special exhibition a communications programme for all age groups will be offered by the Museum's education team. An illustrated catalogue will be published to coincide with the exhibition. The Jewish Museum thanks Austrian Airlines, its sponsor this year, for its support. This press material may be used free of charge. We would be grateful for a voucher copy of every article about the Museum and its exhibitions.
