history of the Jews in Austria probably begins with the exodus of Jews from Judea under Roman occupation . Over the course of many centuries , the political status of the community rose and fell many times : during certain periods , the Jewish community prospered and enjoyed political equality , and during other periods it suffered pogroms , deportations to concentration camps and mass murder , and antisemitism . The Holocaust drastically reduced the Jewish community in Austria and only 8,140 Jews remained in Austria according to the 2001 census , but other estimates place the current figure at 9,000 , 15,000 and 20,000 people , if accounting for those of mixed descent
