There were not as many towns with Jewish populations in Austria as there
were in Bohemia and Moravia. Jews were expelled from
Austria in the 18th century and at various times before that. In
contrast, Jews were permitted to reside in a limited number of towns in
Bohemia and Moravia. When Austria began permitting Jews to come to
Austria around 1800, and especially after 1848, most went to Vienna, although
there are a few other communities, such as Hohenems and Eisenstadt, which
are worth mentioning. If you don't see the town you're researching on Austria and have information on it, let us know, and we will add it.
