Austria first became a center of Jewish learning during the 13th century. However, increasing antisemitism led to the expulsion of the Jews in 1669. Following formal readmission in 1848, a sizable Jewish community developed once again, contributing strongly to Austrian culture. By the 1930s, some 300,000 Jews lived in Austria, most of them in Vienna. Following the Anschluss with Nazi Germany, most of the community emigrated or were killed in the Holocaust. The current Austrian Jewish population is 9,000. The following is a list of some prominent Austrian Jews. Here German-speaking Jews from the whole Habsburg Monarchy are listed. ==Athletes== * Margarete "Grete" Adler, swimmer, Olympic bronze (4x100-meter (m) freestyle relay) * Richard Bergmann, Austria/Britain table tennis player, 7x world champion, ITTFHoF * Albert Bogen (Albert Bógathy), fencer (saber), Olympic silver * Fritzi Burger, figure skater, 2x Olympic silver, 2x World Championship silver * Siegfried "Fritz" Flesch, fencer (sabre), Olympic bronze * Hans Haas, weightlifter, Olympic champion (lightweight), silver * Judith Haspel (born "Judith Deutsch"), Austrian-born Israeli swimmer, held every Austrian women's middle and long distance freestyle record in 1935, refused to represent Austria in 1936 Summer Olympics along with Ruth Langer and Lucie Goldner, protesting Hitler, stating, "I refuse to enter a contest in a land which so shamefully persecutes my people."〔("Diving into troubled waters" ), Paul Kalina, ''The Age'', November 24, 2005, Retrieved January 1, 2011〕 * Dr. Otto Herschmann, fencer (saber), 2-Olympic-silver (in fencing/team sabre and 100-m freestyle); arrested by Nazis, and died in Izbica concentration camp * Nickolaus "Mickey" Hirschl, wrestler, 2x Olympic bronze (heavyweight freestyle and Greco-Roman) * Felix Kasper, figure skater, Olympic bronze * Klara Milch, swimmer, Olympic bronze (4x100-m freestyle relay) * Paul Neumann, swimmer, Olympic champion (500-m freestyle) * Fred Oberlander, Austrian, British, and Canadian wrestler; world champion (freestyle heavyweight); Maccabiah champion * Felix Pipes, tennis player, Olympic silver (doubles) * Maxim Podoprigora, Olympic swimmer * Ellen Preis, fencer (foil), 3x world champion (1947, 1949, and 1950), Olympic champion, 17x Austrian champion * Otto Scheff (born "Otto Sochaczewsky"), swimmer, Olympic champion (400-m freestyle) and 2x bronze (400-m freestyle, 1,500-m freestyle) * Josephine Sticker, swimmer, Olympic bronze (4x100-m freestyle relay) * Otto Wahle, Austria/US swimmer, 2x Olympic silver (1,000-m freestyle, 200-m obstacle race) and bronze (400-m freestyle); International Swimming Hall of Fame 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Austrian Jews」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
