Abstract:
Disputes the commonly held view, expressed especially by socialists, Marxists, and liberals, that prior to 1914 members of the European working class were immune to antisemitism and that socialist political parties and groupings rejected it. Antisemitic attitudes were very common among socialist thinkers and workers in many countries of Europe, including France, Russia, Austria, Germany, and even liberal England (where antisemitism was expressed in anti-immigrant and anti-war sentiments). Although antisemitism was absent from German Social Democratic literature before 1914, popular working class literature and culture in Germany exhibited it prominently; the Social Democratic sub-culture remained as tainted with antisemitism in its vocabulary, images, associations, and modes of thought as the dominant bourgeois German culture.
