Abstract:
In this chapter, Anne Schenderlein explores the historical dimensions of Jewish consumption and boycotting of German goods. She asks what it has meant for Jews since the 1930s, when some major American Jewish organizations, together with Jewish and non-Jewish groups around the globe, engaged in boycotting products from Nazi Germany. In contrast to most scholarship, which focuses on questions about the success or failure of boycotts, including the Jewish anti-Nazi boycott, this chapter centers on the effects that boycotting had on participants. Schenderlein considers those who adhered to the practice, those who chose not to, and the social and community relations surrounding the practice. She showcases how different Jewish groups and individuals used non-consumption as a tool for protest, community building, and identification.
