Vienna had a long and rich history of Jewish settlement and culture which started in the early Middle Ages. However this tradition was also interspersed with violent episodes of murder, expulsion and forced conversion from the 15th century through to the horrors of the Second World War.
The Jewish population in the city is slowly growing again - currently estimated at 15,000 - and the traditional and historic Jewish District of the city is centred around the City Temple area in the heart of Vienna. The City Temple is the only surviving synagogue from the war.
