The subtitle of "The City Without Jews," A Novel of our Time, remains unfortunately true. Bettauer takes as his subject one of the oldest themes in Jewish history: exile. Exile appears constantly in Jewish literature and history. Written in 1923, the author imagines that anti-Semitism leads Austria to expel all Jews. He describes the expulsion, but does not linger over the suffering, humiliation, and trauma such expulsions have historically caused. Families may be split, and lovers torn from each other, proprietors may be forced to sell their businesses at ridiculously low prices, but Bettauer is less concerned with what happens to any one individual than with taking an idea and carrying to its ultimate conclusion no matter how ridiculous it may seem. This is very much a novel of ideas, not of character. One of the ideas is that the consequences of expulsion are as bad or worse for the country which throws out its Jews as they are for the Jews themselves.

Is it possible that I'm the first to review this?
By Lynn Hoffman, author:Radiation Days: A Comedy
The City Without Jews (Stadt Ohne Juden) was a
piece of social science fiction written in the
1920's. Its premise is that a future Austrian
government might decide to exile all its Jews
in order to reduce the competition for Christian
Austrians. After the completion of the forced
emigration, any Jew found in the city would be
put to death.
In the story, a well-disguised Jew re-infiltrates
Austrian society to find and court his Gentile
girlfriend. As the net closes in on him, the
consequences of a city losing its
intellectual and commercial elite starts to be
felt. Which will happen first? Will the lover be
discovered or the Jews readmitted?
This would all be a sweet liberal fable except
for a few things.
*First, this book was wildly
popular. It sold 200,000 copies in Austria alone.
*Second, a decade after it was published, the
Austriad goverment and people decided to commit
a far worse outrage against their Jewish citizen:
instead of exile, they were murdered and Austrians
comprised a disproportionate number of concentration
camp guards.
*Finally, to this day, the Austrian
government and people has been unwilling to
acknowledge that a crime was committed or to
recognize any moral debt to the survivors.
For those of us who want to believe in the power
of literature, The City Without Jews is a very
sad book indeed.

the forthcoming novel bang BANG from Kunati Books.ISBN 9781601640005

Perhaps its better, but then..
By Curious
One needs to consider a work of a different place and culture to some extent as it may have seemed at the time, through a filter of culture and yet another of translation. Here the effects of time gone by is a third filter yet
The brief work seems prescient in predicting some length that Antisemitism could achieve. It certainly shows that there was a greatly-prevalent antagonism to Jews that could be noted by this writer, an Austrian Protestant.
The book is not quite 200 pages and strikes one as a moralistic fantasy, in line with the sort of writing one might expect of G K Chesterton. Yet, it has a bit less of the moral uncertainty of his works. It is a bit heady and sophomoric for my taste presenting Austrians mostly unfavorably and Jews mostly in glowing terms, perhaps a bit too simply sketched out, for the most part.
Ironically, the Jewish hero, Max, winds up being not only talented, wealthy and clever, but also shows himself to be a crafty manipulator, which fits him to the Antisemitic prejudices, reinforcing the concept of the scheming Jew.
Ultimately, the highly assimilated hero is accepted back in the arms of his country and his Christian near-fianc�e and her parents. In this and in the Jewish stereotype that came out, perhaps accidentally, the work really is 'of its time'.
The book was likely too favorable to Jews and negative to Austrians, despite its levity and brevity, as the author was assassinated a bit over a year after its publication.
The fact that removal of Jewish wealth was so harmful to the country may have been likely. One wonders whether a Nazi sympathizer, taking due note of this decided to aggressively strip such wealth and 'milk the Jews dry'.
