The card objects and the framed prints point out how deceptive populism is and acts and how powerful it is in its influence on attitudes of people. In this context, the question of how deeply rooted are fascistoid and racist attitudes in Vienna populations, is addressed. Not only prompted by current incidents in Austrian society but also on a long-term basis a sustained analysis of contemporary anti-semitism and racism in everyday thinking and language is an issue.
