Austrian for almost 150 years, Galicia was a distinctive entity in east European Jewish history. Core contributions here discuss aspects of the Austrian presence. Topics covered include historical overviews of the Jewish community; perceptions of the Jews by others; consequences of Austrian reforms, and of Galician autonomy; Jewish land owning; Jews and the 1873 elections; and Jewish migration to Vienna. The New Views section covers other topics, and there is also a Book Review section.
