Descrizione
Traces the development of a belief among Europe's educated classes in an eventual Jewish domination of the West. Revealing the embedded myths about Jewish bankers and Jewish Bolsheviks in European rhetoric and histories, Poliakiv demostrates that the steady rise in antisemitism and suspician of Jews in the late 19th century, highlighted by the Dreyfus affair - and its eventual eruption in the rise of the Nazi party in Germany in the 1920s are part of the same thread of fear and hatred that reaches back to the beginning of the first millenium.
