ANTISEMITISM THROUGH THE AGES

Edited by Shmuel Almog, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Translated by Nathan H Reisner.

"There is little doubt that this collection will represent an important addi
tion to the book shelves of those interested in the history of their people."
Jewish Book News & Reviews, February 1990

"The tone of the book is calm and dispassionate, although the sentiments of
the authors could not have been. As befits work emanating from a university the
style is scholarly...  There is no doubt about the general validity of the
volume; it substantially adds to knowledge...  Indeed for future work in this
area this volume will prove a useful source and is to be welcomed on that
account."
New Community, July 1989

Is there a common denominator to be found between the Jew-hatred of antiquity
and the antisemitism of modern times?  Is antisemitism essentially constant and
timeless or has it changed over the centuries?  This book presents a collection
of essays addressing these questions throughout the totality of Jewish history:
in antiquity and in the Middle Ages, in the Christian world and in the Muslim
countries, and particularly in the twentieth century.  It examines and assesses
not only the various forms and manifestations of antisemitism in history but
also the diverse interpretations which have been placed upon it by
contemporaries and historians.

For students of Judaica, history, sociology and theology.

NATIONALISM AND ANTISEMITISM IN MODERN EUROPE 1815-1945

Shmuel Almog, Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of
Antisemitism, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

With a foreword by Shmuel Ettinger.

This latest volume in the Studies in Antisemitism Series looks at the
interaction between nationalism and antisemitism in post-Napoleonic Europe.
Using a framework of major historical events for the period 1815-1945, Shmuel
Almog traces the radicalization of national ideology in these years and its
relationship to the rise of political antisemitism. Nationalism in early
nineteenth century Europe developed originally as a liberal-democratic
philosophy in opposition to existing political, social and economic structures.
This coincided with a period of increasing integration of the Jewish minority
into mainstream European life, particularly in economic spheres. By the 1870s,
however, the continued growth of nationalist aspirations, increasingly allied
to an imperialist, conservative and militaristic culture, led to a rise in
discord between nations and a concomitant increase in the importance of
national peculiarities. This was to have a profound effect on the Jewish
communities in Europe, with the Jews being viewed as an alien and even
dangerous force within the newly-created nation states. The book argues that
growing extremism in nationalist attitudes afforded a suitable ideological and
social background for antisemitic activity, as manifested by calls for
discriminatory legislation against Jews, the pogroms of Eastern Europe and,
ultimately, the Nazi Holocaust. This analysis is substantiated and reinforced
by a series of annotated documents and illustrations. This book is a clear
account of the development of one of the key elements of antisemitic ideology
in this important period of European history.

For academics and students interested in Jewish studies, antisemitism and the
history of Modern Europe.

OUT OF THE ASHES
The Impact of American Jews on Post-Holocaust European Jewry

Yehuda Bauer, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

"Yehuda Bauer, who is arguably the pre-eminent historian of the Holocaust -
has succeeded in rising above his own revered "showbiz" status, maintaining an
authority and dignity that derive exclusively from the integrity and quality of
his work, and from the enormity of the subject to which he has devoted so much
of his professional life...  This latest book is no exception...  Here he
deals, in meticulously researched detail, with the story of the efforts of
American Jewish relief agencies to rehabilitate the surviving remnant of
European Jewry in the years immediately following the War."
Jewish Chronicle, December 1989

Out of the Ashes is a unique account of the contribution of American Jews to
the continued survival of the remnant of European Jewry - the Sheerit Hapletah
- in the aftermath of the Nazi Holocaust. As the Second World War drew to a
close and the full extent of the Holocaust was revealed, the immediate American
Jewish reaction of shocked silence and disbelief was soon transformed into
pragmatic action: Jewish agencies throughout the US were mobilized to help the
survivors and their communities to begin to rebuild shattered lives. Paramount
among these organizations was the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
(JDC), which since its formation in 1914 had established itself as the foremost
American Jewish agency for helping fellow Jews overseas. The JDC was joined by
other organizations, including the well-established HIAS (Hebrew Sheltering and
Immigrant Aid Society) and ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation and Training).
Based on a variety of sources, including the JDC archives and oral interviews,
the book examines the politics and mechanics of the American Jewish
intervention and assesses its extent and effect on the fate of European Jewry
both in Europe and elsewhere in the years immediately after 1945.

ATLAS OF THE HOLOCAUST

M Gilbert, Fellow of Merton College, Oxford

"It is very encouraging to note that Pergamon have reprinted Martin Gilberts
Atlas of the Holocaust, first published in 1982.  This chronological
presentation of the mounting horror, documentated in over 300 maps in
meticulous detail and with great reverence for the victims, is an indispensable
aid to those who wish to delve deeper into the subject, its various stages and
processes and the often heroic responses of those facing catastrophe."
Jewish Chronicle, March 3 1989

"...Gilbert is an extraordinarily prolific writer in this area..."
Ken Oldfield director of the BFSS National RE Centre West London., 1989

"I know of no other work that succeeds in capturing the full scale and range
of the slaughter of the Jews as this book does... More than a mere
representation of reality flattened into lines and arrows and drawn to scale,
more than a gazetter of death, the Atlas is a human document par excellence...
a landmark in Holocaust scholarship."
Jacob Boas, Holocaust Center of Northern California, in Holocaust and
Genocide Studies Volume 5 Number 2, June 1990

The Atlas of the Holocaust is the product of seven years of historical
research by the author and this new edition, which has been revised with
amendments, contains over 300 of his maps and over 40 contemporary photographs.
Presented in chronological order, the maps are a comprehensive record of the
tragedy of the Holocaust as it unfolded month by month and week by week in the
Jewish communities of Europe.  The Atlas also shows more than 200 acts of
resistance and revolt, as well as areas of Jewish partisan activity, avenues of
escape and rescue, and the fate of individuals.  The fully annotated maps and
comprehensive bibliography make the Atlas of the Holocaust an important
contribution to the literature on the Second World War.

For historians and all those interested in the history of the Second World
War and in Jewish Studies.

AN ARROGANT OPPRESSIVE SPIRIT

Anti-Zionism as Anti-Judaism in Egypt

Rivka Yadlin, Institute of Contemporary Jewry, Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel

"This is a small but fascinating book; an excellent piece of academic
research..."
Taali News and Reviews, May 1990

A unique contribution to our knowledge of attitudes toward Jews on the part
of important individuals and organizations within contemporary Egypt.  The
author examines the content and ideological context of attitudes toward Jews
and explores how these attitudes and value judgements have been combined with
European antisemitic concepts into a new mix.  Most of the views analyzed are
by no means those of right- or left-wing extremists but of people of the
center, highlighting the contradiction between the rise of potentially
genocidal antisemitism and Egypts peaceful relations with Israel.  In addition,
the impact of radical Muslim fundamentalism is explored.  This thoroughly
researched book is an important contribution to the study of antisemitism and,
more generally, to the study of other group hatreds as well.

For academics, students and those interested in Middle Eastern studies,
Jewish studies, history and religious studies.

Contents:  (Section Headings): Introduction: Separating the threads of
hostile attitudes. The cultural assault on the Egyptian mind. The Islamic Left:
political potential of religious consciousness. "Who will destroy whom?": a
Jewish-Arab religious confrontation. Conclusion: Anti-Zionism as anti-Judaism.
