EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Christmas and New Year card dates back to the 1920s and is a beautiful representation of the festive spirit during that era. The card was created by the Principal and Staff of a German Holiday Course in Austria, with Director Emil Ludwig (born Emil Cohn) extending warm greetings from Schottenbastei 7, Vienna. The image on the card features a group of smiling men and women, all dressed in their holiday best, gathered around the threshold of a cozy home. The men, wearing hats and overcoats, wave and offer hearty greetings, while the women, bundled up in fur coats and scarves, exchange cheerful smiles. The front door of the house is adorned with wreaths and garlands, adding to the festive atmosphere. Despite the joyous scene, it is important to note that this card was created during a time of great change and uncertainty in Europe. The 1920s were a decade of economic instability, political upheaval, and social transformation. Amidst this backdrop, the Principal and Staff of the German Holiday Course in Austria chose to focus on the happiness and warmth of the holiday season, offering a moment of respite from the challenges of the world outside. Emil Ludwig, the Director of the course, was likely a Jewish leader in the community, and it is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that flourished in Europe during this time. The card serves as a testament to the enduring power of community, connection, and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
