The book focuses almost exclusively on Anti-Semitism in Western and Central Europe, specifically, France, (modern) Germany, and Austria-Hungary, sometime separately and sometimes jointly. Of particular parochial interest was the portion about Hungary. I had not realized that Hungary included Bratislava, in modern Slovakia. That is where my father's side of the family hailed from. The book explained, basically, why it was necessary for them to flee despite what we believe to be their good fortune, complete with a large house with servants, for an essentially penniless existence in New York City. As good as having "emancipation" in Europe was, i.e. full economic rights and political freedom, the levels of hatred of Jews because much worse. We know how it ended, unfortunately.
All the history aside, this book adds to the several I've previously read, including Why the Jews? by Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin, Why the Germans? Why the Jews?: Envy, Race Hatred, and the Prehistory of the Holocaust by Aly, Götz, and Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition by David Nirenberg. These books all take a slightly different approach. None satisfactorily explain why Anti-Semitism is a persistent problem. I posit that it's not as much of a problem in "new world" countries, where the focus is what a person brings to the table, not who they are. All of these books, though, hint at the problem is "who" in the cradle of European "civilization."… (mer)
