Bøger af Central Association of Germans of Jewish Faith

Both produced and distributed in a clandestine manner in Germany in the early 1930s, Anti-Anti is an intuitive guide to refuting antisemitism. A loose-leaf brochure, the handbook was collaboratively written so as to assist journalists, politicians, writers and teachers, as well as the general public, with how to counter common misconceptions and prejudices towards Jews. Hugely influential upon first publication, with hundreds of thousands of copies in circulation, Anti-Anti ranges between topics, including Kosher and the 'Elders of Zion', and systematically dispels violent myths and misconceptions associated with German Jews, as well as tackling the misappropriation of contemporary figures, such as Otto van Bismarck, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche and Henry Ford. Together, the guide offers an expansive, incisive critique of antisemitic thought, while fiercely campaigning for the civil rights of Germans of Jewish faith. Now published in the English language for the first time, Anti-Anti offers a sweeping, and discomfiting, snapshot of Germany in the days leading up to Hitler's ascension. Yet in its focus on rapid structural change, nationalism, and the impact of misinformation, it also speaks powerfully to the world today, and the worrying resurgence of antisemitic thought.
