The Rise of Racial Antisemitism in Germany, Part 2
Summary
Jews were at the forefront of modernity in Germany amidst political, social and economic upheaval. One response to this was to view them as scapegoats. Religious hatred toward the Jews gradually transformed into a secular, nationalistic and racial hatred. Thus, modern antisemitism was born.
