The original manuscript was started in France in 1941 and was
written in French. It was suggested then that it would be much
easier to translate the text than to put something that was written
in poor English into good English. This is the reason why I
continued writ ing in French even after I had come to this country.
It took me several years to formulate the thoughts as they now
appear in the present manuscript. During this time I discussed
various aspects of the problem of anti-Semitism with colleagues and
scientists in related fields. Myunderstanding of the problem was
greatly enhanced by these discussions and the valuable sugges tions
given to me, I wish to acknowledge my indebted ness particularly to
Marie Bonaparte, Guy de Roth schild and Georges Halphen, with whom
I discussed this problem in France. I owe many insights into the
historical aspects of the matter to Horace M. Kallen and Robert P.
Casey, and I have profited much, also, from the psychoanalytic
discussions with Heinz Hart mann, Ernst Kris and Katherine Wolf.
For the manuscript itself I wish to express my gratitude to Aline
Caro-Delvaille and particularly to Vera Darnman, who not only
translated the book but made many valuable editorial changes. I
want to thank, also, Lottie M. Maury for her kind co-operation and
help, RUDOLPH M. LOEWENSTEIN, M. D, New York, November Introduction
In August 1940, two months after the signing of the armistice
between the Vichy Government and Hitler's Germany, I went to visit
Madame Marie Bona parte, the famous French psychoanalyst, in the
south of France. We discussed the world political situation which
was so terribly gloomy at that time. We also dis cussed the Jewish
situation and the question of anti-Semitism. She told me of a
recent conversation she had had with the director of an important
periodical. She had reproached him for the anti-Semitic campaign he
had launched at that time. He denied in reply that he had any
personal anti-Semitic prejudices, pointing out that several of his
intimate friends were Jews. She told me that he justified his
paper's policy on the grounds that France was in a period of
revolution and was going to need some one to blame; and the Jews,
as usual, were the obvious scapegoats. Thisconversation with Marie
Bonaparte, and cer tain thoughts she expressed at that time, was
the start ing point for my research into the problem of
anti-Semitism. Undoubtedly there were personal motives for making
such a study. For what, naturally, would be the frame of mind of a
man who, although born in pre-1914 Russian Poland, had for many
years com pletely identified himself with France only suddenly to
find himself morally rejected by his adopted country because he was
a Jew. But I also had motives of more 11 12 CHRISTIANS AND JEWS
