Abstract:
Traces the development of an anti-Jewish stereotype in journalism, caricatures, and theatrical productions, sparked by the influx of East European Jews after 1880. The Jew was depicted as physically repulsive, depraved, and dishonest. The image of the crooked cosmopolitan Jewish financier (exemplified by characters called "Hoggenheimer" and "Goldenstein" in drama and cartoons) became embedded in South African ethnic mythology.
