Tradition and Alienation: the memories of Jewish private lecturer Max Ungar 1850-1930

Tradition and Alienation: the memories of Jewish private lecturer Max Ungar 1850-1930

Max Ungar was the son of an Orthodox Jew born in Boskovice, Moravia, and pursued a scientific career in Vienna University after which he took over the failing family business. He returned to Vienna for a few years before coming home to Brno in a private capacity. His memoirs encapsulate many multi-faceted change processes. Although he wrote his memoirs chronologically, there is a recognisable leitmotif: on the one hand his escape from Orthodox Judaism into a century of high liberalism and his turning to science and knowledge; while on the other hand it charts his failure as a devotee of the humanism he was dedicated to as result of this pursuit of science and knowledge. In this respect Max Ungar’s reminiscences written in 1928 but covering the period 1855 – 1892/1928 are particularly significant for their overlapping topics: for its Jewish history during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the 19th century and for the portrayal of identity in a period of rising antisemitism and the onset of Nazi-ism in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire .
