An excellent analysis of Anti-Semitism in Europe.
The book is well-balanced and easy-to-understand exploration on Anti-Semitism in Europe, especially in Germany, Austria, Poland, France and Italy.

This book is poorly written, but far worse is that the author, while making numerous generalizations, cites almost nothing (four pages of notes). A collection of one expert's views without evidential support, John Weiss' book is practically useless to those doing serious research into the Holocaust.

This review is from: The Politics of Hate: Anti-Semitism History, and the Holocaust in Modern Europe (Hardcover)
The book is well-balanced and easy-to-understand exploration on Anti-Semitism in Europe, especially in Germany, Austria, Poland, France and Italy. In the opening chapter, the author points five origins of Anti-Semitism, that is, confrontation with Christianity, commercial reasons, denunciations of Jewish liberal and progressive movements, (biased) influences of Anthropology (Eugenics), and ethnic nationalism; however, the author offers an excellent account of the histrical process of Anti-Semitism from late nineteenth century to th Holocaust. It is also interesting that the author explains why and how Anti-Semitism made a difference among countries mentioned-above; what seems to be the most significant is the reasons why only in Italy Anti-Semitism did not prevail. Far from any prejudice, a very lucid work!
