Abstract:
Modern antisemitism in Germany developed in the wake of the 1873 economic crisis, under the aegis of Stöcker, Marr, Dühring, and Treitschke, evolving into an organized movement in the 1890s. Recent mainstream historiography, especially in Germany (e.g. Hans Rosenberg) traces the causes of this antisemitism to the 1873 crisis, maintaining that continuity in German history would necessarily bring about another cycle of crisis and antisemitism, which is what happened in 1929 and with Nazism. Shows that "Anglo-Saxon" historiography (e.g. Geoff Eley) identifies a rupture in that continuity during the 1870s-80s which, generated by social dissatisfaction and anti-modernist feelings (and not economic crisis), resulted in populist demagoguery and the creation of a radical new Right - anti-socialist, hyper-nationalist, and antisemitic. States that both these factors determined the development of antisemitism in Germany at a later stage.
