This chapter explores the experiences of Jewish refugees who, during the Second World War, organised themselves as Austrians while living in Uruguay. It further examines how, from the 1970s, when Uruguay descended into dictatorship, individuals who migrated back to Vienna – along with their children born in South America – engaged with their past experiences in Montevideo. The chapter investigates the concept of “homeland” in cases where this supposed homeland has been either disappointing or outright hostile. It argues that the impacts of forced migration extend to subsequent generations, shaping their migratory patterns and senses of belonging. These themes are analysed through qualitative evaluation, using specific examples to illustrate the complex interplay between forced migration, identity and belonging.

摘要

This chapter explores the experiences of Jewish refugees who, during the Second World War, organised themselves as Austrians while living in Uruguay. It further examines how, from the 1970s, when Uruguay descended into dictatorship, individuals who migrated back to Vienna – along with their children born in South America – engaged with their past experiences in Montevideo. The chapter investigates the concept of “homeland” in cases where this supposed homeland has been either disappointing or outright hostile. It argues that the impacts of forced migration extend to subsequent generations, shaping their migratory patterns and senses of belonging. These themes are analysed through qualitative evaluation, using specific examples to illustrate the complex interplay between forced migration, identity and belonging.
