German Politics and the Jews: Dďż1/2sseldorf and Nuremberg, 1910-1933 (Oxford Historical Monographs) [Hardcover]

Anthony Kauders (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0198206313 | ISBN-13: 978-0198206316 | Publication Date: November 7, 1996

This revisionist account challenges the view that anti-Semitism was imposed on a majority of moderate Germans following Hitler's rise to power. Anthony Kauders argues that the Weimar Republic was instrumental in changing people's attitudes towards the Jews. The author studies the common man's reaction to the "Jewish Question" in two towns, Dusseldorf and Nuremberg, between 1910 and 1933.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...of central importance to the history of antisemitism in early-20th-century Germany....A fine, unpretentious contribution to the debate...this book is a welcome example of how a carefully crafted local study can enrich understanding of a critical issue."--Choice

"The author does a fine job of examining local politics and the Jews in Dusseldorf and Nuremberg, particularly during the Weimar years."--American Historical Review
