Abstract:
Describes the attempt to form an Antisemitic International in the 1880s. The Congress for the Safeguarding of Non-Jewish Interests convened in Dresden in September 1882, chaired by Adolf Stöcker, with 300 delegates (most of them from Germany and Austria, three Hungarians, and two Russians). Opinions were divided between the racialists, who advocated a radical solution - the expulsion of all Jews - and the moderates, who called for legislation to deprive the Jews of rights and any influence in culture, commerce, etc. An International Anti-Semitic Committee was formed, and convened in Chemnitz in April 1883 with the radical racialists in control. A third congress took place in Kassel in 1886, but hardly attracted attention. Stöcker's faction withdrew from the movement in 1883. Although the public and press showed little interest in these events, concludes that this movement "sowed the evil seed which bore wicked fruit in future generations".
