Zionism and anti-semitism in Nazi Germany

A study of the relationship between Zionism and anti-Semitism in modern Germany with particular focus on the Nazi years between 1933 and 1942. The approaches of German anti-Semitism and National Socialism to Zionism and the Zionist movement in Germany reflect an ideology that was inconsistently applied. It considers this topic within the context of three contentious issues in post-Holocaust historiography and debate: the nature of modern German anti-Semitism, the decision-making process leading to the Nazi mass murder of the Jews of Europe, and the nature and role of German Zionism in German-Jewish history before the Shoah
