Abstract:
A survey of the change of attitude in German politics towards antisemitism between 1860-1914. Discusses the influence of Marx's "Zur Judenfrage" (1844) and the SDAP's rejection of antisemitism in Marxism. Sketches the struggle between the SDAP and the antisemitic Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeitsverein, founded by Lassalle. The anti-Marxist socialist Eugen Dühring, writing on the national economy and socialism, identified the liberal bourgeois with Jewish influence and thus created an important source of anti-Jewish resentment. During the official repression of the SDAP in 1878-90, the Marxist wing was dominant and did not accept discrimination against religion or race. After 1890 Germany adopted a radical anti-modern mentality, embracing extreme nationalism and antisemitism. The SDAP, preoccupied with its own organizational development, failed to recognize the danger of widespread German antisemitism, refrained from political action against this phenomenon, and gradually developed an antipathy to the radical left-wing Ostjuden of its own party.
