Abstract:
Although the violent Jew-baiting of the fascists in Britain won few adherents in the 1930s, a more subtle antisemitism was gaining ground, such as negative literary stereotypes, middle-class professional antipathy, and social discrimination against "alien" Jews .In 1942 a campaign of rumors and dissemination of leaflets, partly Nazi-inspired, accused the Jews of draft-dodging and of profiteering, and described the war as a "Jewish war". At the same time, the National Council for Civil Liberties, along with Church and trade union figures, demanded strong government actions against antisemitism.
