Abstract:
During the years of Nazi rule in Germany, Weltsch, a Zionist intellectual and politician, was anxious that the racist and aggressive Nazi strain of German nationalism would pollute and corrupt the humanist version of Jewish nationalism based on justice and coexistence with other nations. While watching the escalation of Nazi antisemitic policies, as well as of the Jewish-Arab conflict over Palestine, Weltsch became growingly pessimistic about his belief in humanist nationalism.
