Editing Karl Renner (section)

==Antisemitism==
[[Antisemitism in contemporary Austria]] was widespread after the First World War and even after the Second World War, even in the highest government offices. Karl Renner, whom Emperor Karl I rejected as prime minister, stood out before and after the war due to vehement antisemitism. This attitude persisted even after the Nazi terror against Jewish returnees and survivors of the concentration camps. [[Marko Feingold]], survivor of the concentration camp and president of the Salzburg Jewish Community, said in 2013: "Karl Renner, after all the first Federal President of the Second Republic, had long been known in the party as an anti-Semite. He didn't want us concentration campers in Vienna after the war and he also frankly said that Austria would not give anything back to them."<ref>[https://www.krone.at/1716965  Interview with Marko Feingold 2013]</ref><ref>Maximilian Gottschlich "Die große Abneigung.
