Doron Rabinovici

Rabinovici studied at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate in 2000 with the historical work Instanzen der Ohnmacht.

Published in 2000 as Instanzen der Ohnmacht (Authorities of Powerlessness) by Jüdischer Verlag (a branch of Suhrkamp), it raises the painful questions of resistance and collusion that have come to dominate recent debates on the Holocaust.

Rabinovici compiled the text book for the performance; the production referred to the November pogroms of 1938, the 75th anniversary of which was celebrated in 2013.

A political theater, a mosaic of speeches and statements by Europe's racist populist government politicians that reveals the nature and intentions of these policies.

The reading is merely commented on by individual quotations from Hannah Arendt, Viktor Klemperer and Erich Kästner and is framed by a few sentences written by Rabinovici.

The response was overwhelming – in February 2000, 300,000 people assembled on Vienna's historic Heldenplatz to stage the largest demonstration in Austria's post-war history.
