Antisemitism

In March 1893, Austrian writer Hermann Bahr embarked on one of the most ambitious journalistic projects of the nineteenth century: a six-month series of interviews with public figures across Europe. This collection captures a wide range of opinions on antisemitism amid a surge of anti-Jewish sentiment in Germany and France during a time marked by militant nationalism and pseudoscientific "race studies."
reveals the ideological, political, and social factors that contributed to the Holocaust, while uncovering the enduring mechanisms of hatred and division that continue to target minorities. Featuring extensive notes, an informative afterword, and biographies of the interviewees, this volume explores the rise of modern antisemitism and provides valuable insights into conspiracy theories that persist to this day.
