The Socialist Response to Antisemitism in Imperial Germany

The book explores the nuanced distinctions between antisemites and anti-antisemites in Imperial Germany, particularly focusing on the actions proposed by each group regarding Jews. It highlights how German Social Democrats, while opposing antisemitism, often reinforced existing stereotypes rather than challenging them. By examining the broader societal perceptions and integrating new sources, the study reinterprets key issues, including the influence of Marx's writings and the views of prominent Social Democrats like Rosa Luxemburg and Eduard Bernstein.
