The Newspaper "Selbst-Emancipation!"

Zeitschrift "Selbst-Emancipation!" IMG

The newspaper Selbst-Emancipation! was founded in 1885 in Vienna by Nathan Birnbaum and was published up to July 1886 and again from April 1890 to December 1893. Inspired by the ideas of Leon Pinsker, the newspaper called on Jews to engage in "national self-help" (nationale Selbsthilfe) and to confront anti-Semitism in a united way.
