The planned conference ‚Jewish Migration and Integration to the Metropolises of Europe, 1848-1918‘ brings together scholars from both sides of the Atlantic who are active in this field in the USA, Europe and Israel.
Since the middle of the 19th century, and increasingly after 1880/90, several million Jews migrated from the formerly divided Poland, from Rumania and from Russia to Western Europe or, alternatively, to North and South America. Today, Jewish migration and integration history is regarded both as trans-national history and as European history with global implications. This conference, which is to be held in Vienna in late 2009, addresses the issue of ‚Jewish Migration and Integration in the Metropolises of Europe, 1848-1918‘. The organisers will assume travel and conference costs; the publication of the results is planned.
