Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust surveys the history of the
Holocaust whilst demonstrating the pivotal importance of the
historical tradition of anti-Semitism and the power of
discriminatory language in relation to the Nazi-led persecution of
the Jews. The book examines varieties of anti-Semitism that have
existed throughout history, from religious anti-Semitism in the
ancient Roman Empire to the racial anti-Semitism of political
anti-Semites in Germany and Austria in the late 19th century. Beth
A. Griech-Polelle analyzes the tropes, imagery, legends, myths and
stereotypes about Jews that have surfaced at these various points
in time. Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust considers how this
language helped to engender an innate distrust, dislike and even
hatred of the Jews in 20th-century Europe. She explores the
shattering impact of the First World War and the rise of Weimar
Germany, Hitler's rhetoric and the first phase of Nazi
anti-Semitism before illustrating how ghettos, SS Einsatzgruppen
killing squads, death camps and death marches were used to drive
this anti-Semitic feeling towards genocide. With a wealth of
primary source material, a thorough engagement with significant
Holocaust scholarship and numerous illustrations, reading lists and
a glossary to provide further support, this is a vital book for any
student of the Holocaust keen to know more about the language of
hate which fuelled it.
