Tarek Leitner | Moments of the Republic

What's it about?

A personal journey through the history of Austria.An old photo, a captured scene, a moment from times gone by: Often it is images that tell us about history. But what happens when you look beyond the obvious, when you don't just focus on iconic photographs of major events? What stories are hidden behind seemingly inconspicuous moments? In his new book, Tarek Leitner, one of Austria's best-known and most popular television presenters, unfolds the history of the Second Republic in a completely new way. The starting point is unusual photographs taken behind the scenes of major historical events, which often pose riddles at first glance. Tarek Leitner deciphers these hidden stories behind the images, connects them with personal experiences, and thereby offers a surprisingly multifaceted view of Austria from the post-war period to the present – far beyond the usual historical milestones.With his unmistakable narrative style and a keen sense, Leitner succeeds in making the major turning points and the small, often overlooked details tangible. Let yourself be taken on a journey into a history that is much more than just history – it is part of our shared identity.Tickets
