Abstract:
A paper given at a study session of the Istituto Storico Italo-Germanico, Trento, September 1984. Nazi ideology reflected Hitler's ideas, based on the Darwinian struggle of the species towards the victory of the superior Aryan race. Antisemitism was an inherent part of this ideology, viewing Jews as parasites, subverting the survival instinct of the superior race through racial mixing and harmful political concepts, intent on world domination, and to be dealt with only by physical elimination. Traces the roots of Hitler's thought in early 19th-century anti-Jewish publications which denounced everything non-German as "Jewish". During the economic crisis following German industrialization, anti-Jewish feelings revived and racist ideas were formulated by Eugen Dühring and Houston Stewart Chamberlain. Together with the "völkisch" tradition of the Alldeutscher Verband (Pan-German League, founded in 1891) and the "Führer principle", these ideas formed Nazi ideology.
