List of Austrian Jews#Musicians

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, 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.{{cite web |url=http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/jewpop.html |title=Jewish Population of the World |publisher=Jewish Virtual Library |date=2012 |access-date=18 December 2013 |archive-date=13 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150613030052/http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/jewpop.html |url-status=live}} The following is a list of some prominent Austrian Jews.
