Antisemitism History 1800-2000
Abstract:
The German-Austrian peace movement of the late 19th-early 20th centuries attracted many Jews to its ranks; from its inception, it opposed antisemitism. The movement was home to a number of outspoken anti-antisemites; many of its activists favored a progressive resolution of the "Jewish question". Discusses the views of Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914), Ludwig Quidde (1858-1941), Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi (1859-1906), and Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster (1869-1966). These people were intellectuals representing both the Austrian aristocracy and the German bourgeoisie. The anti-antisemitism of von Suttner and Quidde stemmed from their secularism and liberalism, while the other two were devout Christians. Organizations like the Deutsche Friedensgesellschaft became a framework in which Jews and non-Jews could collaborate as equals.
Note:
On four founders of the peace movement - Bertha von Suttner, Ludwig Quidde, Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster and Heinrich Coudenhove-Kalergi - and what they thought about Jews and Judaism.
