Abstract:
After a theoretical introduction relating to the dearth of study of antisemitism in Denmark, proceeds to an examination of Indre Mission (the Internal Mission), a Danish movement of evangelical Lutheran orientation which was national conservative and anti-modernist. It combined traditional religious hostility toward the Jews with modern stereotyping (e.g. Jews as communists). Although initially sympathetic to Hitler, by 1937 the Mission rejected racism, and then antisemitism, explicitly. This movement, in which religious hostility and xenophobia went hand in hand with opposition to Nazi racial antisemitism, illustrates the cultural and religious roots of the Christian antisemitic and anti-Judaic inheritance - in a very Danish version.
