Abstract:
Analyzes the image of national minorities, especially Germans and Jews, in the Hungarian press and caricatures. The liberal press showed the Jew as a poor pedlar and satirized, often sympathetically, the rising bourgeois Jew. By the end of the century, as a result of German antisemitic influence, the Jew was depicted as a sinister character with a hooked nose. The clerical satirical journal "Herko Pater" railed against Jews taking over the nobles' estates. The press also satirized the Jewish and German accents and manners of speech. The Hungarian nobility, which despised agriculture and trade, formed a negative image of Germans as bureaucrats and farmers, and Jews as greedy merchants. They also projected their own weaknesses and failings onto the Jews. A survey on the "Jewish question" in Hungary, held by a liberal magazine in 1917, revealed a view of the assimilated Jew as a representative of capitalism and materialism.
Note:
Pp. 1094-1099 deal with the Hungarian image of the Jews in the 19th century. With a French summary.
