Abstract:
Defines the "Jewish train joke" as any joke about the Jewish-Gentile relationship which takes place in a public setting. These jokes were particularly prevalent in pre-World War II Europe. Pp. 147-152 discuss jokes involving encounters between Jews and antisemites (usually a train conductor, a priest, or an army officer). In the examples given, the provenance is either prewar Europe or the USA.
