An Austrian in Paris : Isidore Singer, by Heidi KnörzerBorn in 1859 in Weisskirchen (Moravia) and trained at the University of Vienna in the 1880s, Isidore Singer arrived in Paris in 1887. For this intellectual, who since 1882 has been writing about the fight against antisemitism and the best ways to preserve Judaism in the modern world, France was attractive for several reasons : not only did it represent for Singer the possibility of working for the press office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it also embodied a country that was undeniably “at the head of humanity” and, as a result, likely to help him in his various struggles. This article aims to trace Singer’s activities and social networks in Paris by also questioning the reasons for the failure of cultural transfer. In 1895, Singer decided to leave Paris for New York, where he lived until his death in 1939.
