Three Faces of Antisemitism examines the three primary forms of
antisemitism as they emerged in modern and contemporary Germany, and
then in other countries. The chapters draw on the author’s
historical scholarship over the years on the form antisemitism assumed
on the far right in Weimar and Nazi Germany, in the Communist regime
in East Germany, and in the West German radical left, and in Islamist
organizations during World War II and the Holocaust, and afterward in
the Middle East. The resurgence of antisemitism since the attacks of
September 11, 2001, has origins in the ideas, events, and
circumstances in Europe and the Middle East in the half century from
the 1920s to the 1970s. This book covers the period since 1945 when
neo-Nazism was on the fringes of Western and world politics, and the
persistence of antisemitism took place primarily when its leftist and
Islamist forms combined antisemitism with anti-Zionism in attacks on
the state of Israel. The collection includes recent essays of
commentary that draw attention to the simultaneous presence of
antisemitism’s three faces. While scholarship on the antisemitism of
the Nazi regime and the Holocaust remains crucial, the scholarly,
intellectual, and political effort to fight antisemitism in our times
requires the examination of antisemitism’s leftist and Islamist
forms as well. This book will be of interest to scholars researching
antisemitism, racism, conspiracy theories, the far right, the far
left, and Islamism.
