Jews in Viennese Popular Culture around 1900 as Research Topic | 39 28. Alexander Krakauer (1866–1894) was born in Hungary. He attended the Technische Hochschule in Vienna and received a musical education at the same time. His compo- sitions were interpreted by the most famous and important Volkssänger of his time, such as Edmund Guschelbauer (1839–1912) and Alexander Girardi (1850–1918). At the end of his life, he was plagued by a lung disease that he wanted to have cured in the spa town of Bad Gleichenberg. He died on his journey there.

Th ere may have been a diff erence here between Vienna and Berlin, where a positive portrayal of family played a prime role, at least in the performances held at the Herrn- feld Th eater.

Former UN secretary general Kurt Waldheim ran for president of Austria in 1986. Over the course of his campaign, it was made public that he concealed in his biography certain aspects of his past, namely that he had been an offi cer in the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Waldheim’s actions and the fact that large parts of the Austrian govern- ment and the Austrian public defended him provoked fi erce criticism from outside the country, in particular from the World Jewish Congress. On this, see Cornelius Lehn- guth, Waldheim und die Folgen: Der parteipolitische Umgang mit dem Nationalsozialismus in Österreich (Frankfurt: Campus, 2013), 91–152. 35.
