A respectful note is made of this posting from over the weekend, on the AP wires:
VIENNA, Austria (AP) _ Kurt Schubert, the founder of Austria’s first Jewish museum after World War II, died Sunday. He was 83.
The Austrian Jewish Museum, which Schubert started in Eisenstadt in 1972, posted a statement on its Web site saying he died after a long illness but gave no specific details.
Schubert, who was born in the Austrian capital on March 4, 1923, also founded the Jewish Studies Institute at the University of Vienna in 1966.
