Renata Schmidtkunz in conversation with Ernst Strouhal<\/h4>\n

FOUR SISTERS. DISTANT VIENNA, FOREIGN WORLD<\/h4>\n

Gerda, Friedl, Ilse and Susanne were the daughters of \u201eBenedikt's son\u201c and granddaughters of Moriz Benedikt, the famous publisher of the powerful \u201eNeue Freie Presse\u201c, against which Karl Kraus polemicised vehemently. Elias Canetti lived in the immediate neighbourhood of the Benedikts, whose daughters did not escape his notice and who invited him to their salon. The Anschluss put an end to their privileged existence, but the four sisters managed to escape. Scattered in all directions, they remained connected through emigration, war and post-war.<\/p>\n

Ernst Strouhal tells in Four sisters<\/em> of a piece of irretrievable culture, giving a voice to his own mother and three aunts. This great Viennese family history of the 20th century will be published by Zsolnay Verlag at the end of August.<\/p>\n

Ernst Strouhal <\/strong>is a professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, author and publicist. He received the Austrian State Prize for Cultural Journalism in 2010 and has worked on exhibitions including. A song of reason<\/em> (Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna 1996), Games of the city<\/em> (Vienna Museum 2011). He has recently published the following books: \u00a0The world in the game. Atlas of playable maps<\/em> (2015), Nasty letters. The history of threats and blackmail<\/em> (together with Christoph Winder, 2017) and Conversation with a donkey. Reading with the thumb<\/em> (2019).<\/p>\n

Moderation Renata Schmidtkunz<\/strong>, journalist, director and presenter, head of the programme series \"Im Gespr\u00e4ch\", Radio \u00d6sterreich 1<\/p>\n
