Jewish shops and synagogues ransacked, state of siege declared

The fall of the Badeni ordinances, which had granted Czech equal status with German in the administration of Bohemia, triggered days of rioting in Prague from November 29 to December 2, 1897. Anger was directed first against Germans, then against Jews, held to be germanizers: shops looted, schools and synagogues ransacked in the old town and the suburbs.

A state of siege was proclaimed and the army restored order. The episode illustrates the untenable position of a community caught between two nationalisms contending over Bohemia, each of which, at the moment of crisis, placed it on the side of the other. It would weigh on the choices of many Prague families between German culture, Czech affirmation, and nascent Zionism.
