German Politics and the Jews: D�sseldorf and Nuremberg, 1910-1933

by Anthony Kauders

Overview

This revisionist account challenges the view that anti-Semitism was imposed on a majority of moderate Germans following Hitler's rise to power. Anthony Kauders argues that the Weimar Republic was instrumental in changing people's attitudes towards the Jews. The author studies the common man's reaction to the "Jewish Question" in two towns, Dusseldorf and Nuremberg, between 1910 and 1933.

"The author does a fine job of examining local politics and the Jews in Dusseldorf and Nuremberg, particularly during the Weimar years."—American Historical Review
