False comparisons – Migration: Was Vienna really like New York in the past?

Date:

When it comes to migration, facts are often confused with opinions and terms are often misused. This also applies to the historical perspective. Why there were no migrants in Vienna around 1900 and why German was not the “state language”.

No topic is discussed as emotionally as migration. And no term is so often used in a misleading way in the public debate, or is often lumped together: whether it is economically motivated immigration or asylum, internal migration or immigration, displaced persons or refugees, everything now falls under the denominator ‘migration’ and it will always remain so. According to political views, it is usually regarded as enriching, inevitable or threatening.
