AN opinion poll conducted by Vienna University among the Viennese population showed that there are extensive anti-Semitic attitudes in the Austrian capital. According to the poll, 38 percent of the Viennese maintain that Jews despise physical work; 50 percent think that Jews dominate the international financial scene and cause quite a lot of mischief in history; and 33 percent believe that Jews are superior in business life. The poll revealed that anti-Semitism is especially strong among older and less educated persons with relatively small incomes. The study found that hard-core anti-Semitism has almost disappeared.
