Discourses of striving for equality versus the preservation of Jewish difference are reflected in the Jewish and non-Jewish struggles for an appropriate remembrance of the fallen during and after the First World War. They find their expression in the spatial localization of Jewish war memory. This paper deals with the polyphonic memory discourses and spatial positions of Jewish war memory in interplay with non-Jewish war memory in Austria during the Second World War. The focus is on the establishment of war cemeteries and specific signs of remembrance in Jewish and non-Jewish spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
