# Event Details - **Event Name**: Was New York like Vienna? with Marsha Rozenblit - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: How Jewish Refugees from Austria, 1938-1941, Made America into a New Version of the Habsburg Monarchy -- 67th Leo Baeck Memorial LectureAbout this EventJews who fled Nazi Austria after the Anschluss in 1938 went to many places, but primarily to the United States, where they tried to make new homes for themselves. In so doing, many of them imagined that democratic America resembled the old Habsburg Monarchy, with its tolerance for ethnic diversity. They even imagined that the American president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was like the beloved Habsburg Emperor Franz Joseph, and New York was like Vienna. This talk will explore how Jews from Austria coped with American realities and used nostalgia for the Habsburg Monarchy as a way to adjust to their new lives in America.About the SpeakerMarsha L.
