Three Faces of Antisemitism examines the three primary forms of
antisemitism as they emerged in modern and contemporary Germany,
and then in other countries. Essays draw on the author’s
historical scholarship over the years on the form antisemitism
assumed on the far right in Weimar and Nazi Germany, in the
Communist regime in East Germany, and in the West German radical
left, and in Islamist organizations during World War II and the
Holocaust, and afterwards in the Middle East. The resurgence of
antisemitism since the attacks of September 11, 2001 has origins in
the ideas, events and circumstances in Europe and the Middle East
in the half century from the 1920s to the 1970s. This book covers
the period since 1945 when neo-Nazism was on the fringes of Western
and world politics, and the persistence of antisemitism took place
primarily when its leftist and Islamist forms combined antisemitism
with anti-Zionism in attacks on the state of Israel. The collection
includes recent essays of commentary that draw attention to the
simultaneous presence of antisemitism’s three faces. While
scholarship on the antisemitism of the Nazi regime and the
Holocaust remains crucial, the scholarly, intellectual and
political effort to fight antisemitism in our times requires
examination of antisemitism’s leftist and Islamist forms as well.
This book will be of interest to scholars researching antisemitism,
racism, conspiracy theories, the far right, the far left, and
Islamism.
