This article considers the impact of ‘weak’ antisemitism in the Vien-nese popularpress between 1918 and 1938. It argues that,inaddition to the ag-gressive rhetoric of right-wing forces, visual antisemitism in interwar Viennese satirical magazines was also permeated by softer undercurrents of Jewish stereo-typing.Masked as light entertainment,these wereperhaps less obvious than their aggressivecounterparts, but nonetheless represented adangerous aspect of popularcampaigns to ostracise the Jewish population. Juxtaposingaggressive forms of antisemitism from the satirical magazine Der Kikeriki with ‘weak’ anti-semitisminthe humorous magazine Die Muskete, the article shows that the ‘oth-ering’ of the Jewish population was widelyasserted as aculturalfact in the pop-ular entertainment press,and, particularlyinits weaker forms, spanned all political and social lines.
