Was ist Antisemitismus?

Discusses covert and overt expressions of antisemitism in present-day Germany, giving many recent examples. Traces the history of German antisemitism: religious, racist, political. Evaluates polls, showing that ca. 20% of Germans are antisemitic to a greater or lesser degree, but points to a decrease among younger people. Distinguishes between legitimate criticism of Israel and anti-Zionism as a cover for antisemitism. Includes a chapter on Switzerland and Austria and one on the rest of Europe. Emphasizes that antisemitism has many causes, but it has nothing to do with the characteristics or behavior of real Jews. Includes bibliographical references (pages 264-267) and index. 272 pages ; 21 cm
