Abstract:
Points to a return to medieval and Lutheran apocalyptic in German romanticism and early (especially French) socialism. Both are secular religions in which modernism or capitalism take the place of the Antichrist; and these are identified with the Jew. Late 19th-century "völkisch" ideology took up these themes again, stressing the need for sacrifice - sacrifice of the Jew - for the salvation of the Volk, and, through the Volk, of the world. Representatives of this ideology, especially Lanz von Liebenfels, became the sources for the apocalyptic antisemitism of "Mein Kampf".
