Whereas a large body of scholarly literature exists on German
antisemitism in general, pre-Nazi histories of violence against
Jews in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have been widely
neglected. This coherent and well-focused collection of essays is
the first comprehensive work in any language dealing with
antisemitic pogroms in modern German history from the Hep Hep riots
of 1819 to the Reichskristallnacht.
In the Western mind, outbursts of collective violence against Jews
have been largely identified with Tzarist Russia and the medieval
crusade massacres. However, by narrating pogroms as archaic,
historians have overlooked their significance to the development of
modern antisemitism in Germany and Europe as well as the reasons
for its continued presence in the contemporary world. The evidence
presented in this volume suggests that acts of exclusionary
violence were not dead-end streets of futile protest. Rather, they
were rehearsals for new kinds of destruction.
The integration of various perspectives and the close cooperation
of scholars from different disciplines is a major achievement of
this volume, which will be of interest to advanced undergraduates,
graduate students, academics and the general reader in a variety of
disciplines, including German studies, Jewish studies, Holocaust
and genocide studies, ethnic relations, history, and the social
sciences in general.
