A 1924 silent movie that predicted the horrors of anti-semitism has a new score by the Austrian Jewish composer. She explains why the bitter satire resonates so powerfully today

Really concerned interviewer Stuart Jeffries didn't challenge Neuwirth on her statement that 'Antisemitism is in the DNA of Austrians'. Seriously? Are we now fighting racism with blatant racism? And 'Austria is always the trailblazer for hatred?' Just wow.

Are you sure Eric Kandel held the opening speech of the museum in Vienna? It was in the news that he wrote it and someone else held it in his place as he was not well. Please check.

“Antisemitism is in the DNA of Austrians.” If I was Austrian I would find this offensive and not just appallingly narrow-minded.

StefanHechl Yay us /s (I'm sorry for my countrymen and women)

There is something very wrong about those figures about the Austrian jewish population! Austria has only 8 million inhabitants total. Wiki says 12-15.000 Jews today, around 200.000 before the Nazis.

If the film was such an abject failure the first time around and in fact only fuelled and cemented the hate why would anyone try to resurrect it?

also worth noting is that the most infamous corporal in history was born in Austria.

what is that?

Not surprised

Let me guess, her jewish origins commanded her to criticize Europeans again. And again. And again ... If you don't like it here you are always welcome in Israel!

Everything I don't agree with is 'hatred'.
