[Letter from Siegmund Warburg to Stefan Zweig, July 6, 1936]

Warburg refers to Zuckerkandl’s rejection of the definition of Judaism as responsible for reconciliation, peace, and justice on p. 122 of Die Weltgemeinschaft der Juden. Warburg agrees with this notion but considers it does not address the issue of a lack of leadership in the Jewish community. Warburg asks if he should send the copy back to Zuckerkandl or if he can keep it. He then alludes to a future meeting with Zweig, during which they will discuss this problem, among other things. Back of the letter reads “Weltgem d. Juden.”

[Letter from Otto Schulmeister to Viktor Zuckerkandl, March 30, 1955]

Schulmeister introduces himself to Zuckerkandl, suggesting that he may know him either through Zuckerkandl's sister or as editor of Wort und Wahrheit. Schulmeister explains that he is compiling a book to be entitled Spectrum Austriae, and intends to publish it in German and eventually in English. Schulmeister lists the themes to be discussed in the publication and asks if Zuckerkandl would be interested in covering “Music as the Soul of Austria” ("Die Musik als Seele Österreichs").

[Letter from Viktor Zuckerkandl to Otto Schulmeister, April 6, 1955]

[Letter from Anton Böhm to Viktor Zuckerkandl, April 20, 1955]

Böhm responds to a letter forwarded to him by Otto Schulmeister regarding Zuckerkandl's potential contribution to Spectrum Austriae.

Böhm invites Zuckerkandl to write for Spectrum Austriae and recommends that he respond directly to Schulmeister.

[Letter from Viktor Zuckerkandl to Otto Schulmeister, May 28, 1955]
