Anton Jerzabek

Anton Jerzabek (born April 28, 1867 in Vienna ; † March 26, 1939 there ) was an Austrian politician ( CS ).

Life

After visiting the elementary school and the high school Jerzabek studied at the Vienna University of Medicine . During his studies he became a member of the Vienna academic fraternity of Olympia in 1887 . He then served as regimental doctor and senior town doctor in Vienna. He took part in the First World War as a medical doctor and also wrote the work Medical Aid Service and Samaritan Service, which was highly praised at the time .

In 1911 Jerzabek sat briefly as a member of the Reichsrat ( 12th legislative period ) before he was sent to the Provisional National Assembly from 1918 to 1919 . In 1920 Jerzabek accepted a mandate from his party to the National Council, to which he was to belong until 1930 ( 1st , 2nd and 3rd legislative period ).

Anti-Semite Association

Anton Jerzabek was a representative of the right wing within the CS and was considered one of the pioneers of anti-Semitism in Austria. In 1919 he founded the Antisemitenbund , a group that accepted non-partisan people who opposed the “strengthening of the Jews” in Europe. This was soon networked, among other things, with the group Association against the Overreaction of Judaism in Berlin and the Association of Awakening Hungarians in Budapest , also anti-Semitic groups. Other ideological groups were also found in Czechoslovakia . In March 1921 Jerzabek organized a meeting of anti-Semites from Austria, Germany and Hungary in Vienna. If the internal records of the so-called Anti-Semite Day are to be believed, 14,000 delegates are said to have appeared; however, the ballroom of the Viennese baker's cooperative, where the group met, could accommodate almost 70 people. Anton Jerzabek was the keynote speaker. His diction left no doubt about his disposition:

"The Entente owes its victory to the forces of paralyzing decomposition that the German people experienced from the Jewish poison. "

As a delegate of the still young NSDAP , Hermann Esser traveled from Munich on behalf of Adolf Hitler . The contents and resolutions of the Anti-Semitic Day were published in the Gazette Der Eiserne Besen , a magazine that could hardly be distinguished in content from Der Stürmer by Julius Streicher , which was later published in the German Reich .

On the evening of March 13, 1921, the first anti-Semitic riots broke out in Vienna and lasted around two and a half hours. Jews were shouted out by the mob and Jewish shops were damaged. Only the police were able to prevent the crowd from entering the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna, which was predominantly inhabited by Jews .
