The repressed story of the Austrian railway
The express night train from Vienna to Prague was supposed to leave at 23:15. But in the evening of March 11th 1938 at 20:00, thousands of people were pushing each other, squeezing themselves into the train while demanding to depart immediately. Suddenly, the S.A troops showed up with their whips, drunk from victory and eager for revenge. One by one, they went from wagon to wagon, pulling men, women and children back to the platform, leading them to prison (reconstructed and non original version)
This is how George Eric Gedye, a British journalist, described the events in Vienna’s in the evening before the famous “Anschluss”, the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany.
This was also the evening that changed the history of the Austrian railway company.
ANDY WARHOL 10 Portraits of Jews of the 20th Century! To honor Warhol on his birthday today, August 6th!
Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century:
Warhol became fascinated with a group of influential Jewish figures – a pantheon of great thinkers, politicians, performers, musicians and writers including French actress Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923); the first Jewish judge of the United States Supreme Court, Louis Brandeis (1856-1941); renowned philosopher and educator Martin Buber (1878-1965); the theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein (1897-1955), widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the twentieth century; the hugely influential founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychology, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939); vaudeville, stage and film comedians, the Marx Brothers: Chico (1887-1961), Groucho (1890-1977), and Harpo (1888-1964); Israelís fourth Prime Minister and one of the founders of the State of Israel, Golda Meir (1898-1978); distinguished American composer George Gershwin (1898-1937); the eminent novelist, Franz Kafka (1883-1924); and avant-garde American writer, poet and playwright Gertrude Stein (1874-1946). The collective achievements of this group changed the course of the twentieth century and may be said to have influenced every aspect of human experience.

Ausstellungstipp: Helmut Newton’s Private Property & Polaroids bis 20. Mai 2012 in Berlin, Museum für Fotografie
Helmut Newton, der ursprünglich aus einer deutsch-jüdischen Familie stammte, arbeitete größtenteils für die australische Vogue, bevor ihn auch die deutsche oder amerikanische Ausgabe engagierte. Zu Beginn der Siebziger Jahre etablierte sich Newton zu einem der begehrtesten und teuersten Fotografen im Bereich Mode, Werbung und Akt.
Bevor die druckreifen und endgültigen Bilder entstanden sind, arbeitete Newton stets mit seinen Polaroid-Kameras, um vorab einen Überblick über Faktoren wie Bildkomposition oder Lichtsituation zu gewinnen – eine Art Ideenskizze also.
