In spite of people’s knowledge of the Holocaust and what consequences a rhetoric of hate and hostility might have, Jews are frequently attacked verbally in contemporary discourse. The experience of the lethal worldview that led to Auschwitz did not bring the strategies of verbally dehumanizing and demon- izing the Jews to an end. Such strategies prevail and are frequently used in modern discourse, even by highly educated people from mainstream society. Further, in the twenty-first century, the official ban on antisemitic utterances has lost its influence, and the articulation of traditional antisemitic stereotypes by projecting them on Israel has increased significantly. How is it possible that in the seventy years since the end of the Holocaust, years of coping with the past, years of remembrance and education, of making antisemitic utterances socially taboo and legally banned from public discourse, Judeophobic thought and feeling have not been driven from the heart of society? Why has the hatred of Jews not been erased from the collective and communicative memory? The rich body of empirical data this book is based on shows that the old resentment is still very much alive, not only on the edges of society, but also in the mainstream of German and European society. In fact, antisemitism turns out to be a worldwide phenomenon on the rise, as recent years have shown: In Hungary, the Jobbik party is part of the government and openly antisemitic. In Sweden, the Jewish community is under pressure because of the growing hatred of Jews stemming mainly from the Muslim community. Jews have been attacked and killed in Belgium and in France, spit upon in Rome and in London, and more. In Berlin, a rabbi was knocked down on the street in front of his little daughter. Jewish cemeteries and synagogues have been desecrated. Jewish institutions in Germany have to be kept under constant police supervision. International polls show that the attitude toward the Jewish state of Israel has become extremely hostile and aggressive everywhere; this hostility is based on Judeophobic stereotypes and an age-old bias in new garb. All over the world, frantic and obsessive anti-Israel boycott movements have spread, gaining influence especially in left-wing circles, but also in parts of the Christian Church. There is a virulent campus antisemitism in both U.S. and British colleges and universities that claims to be critical of Israel but in fact is based on hostility toward Jews and uses the same demonizing verbal strategies as do right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis. Hatred of the Jewish state of Israel is at the center of the activities of antisemites no matter whether from the right, left, or mainstream.

  • Comprehending Antisemitism Through the Ages: Introduction
    Kerstin Mayerhofer and Armin Lange Comprehending Antisemitism through the Ages: Introduction Robert Wistrich’sdefinition of antisemitism as the “longest hatred”¹ carries as much weight now as it did thirty years ago, when Wistrich published his land- mark study. Today, in our contemporary societies and culture, antisemitism is on the rise, and its manifestations are manifold. Antisemitic hate crimes have spiked in recent decades, and antisemitic stereotypes, sentiments, and hate speech have permeated all parts of the political spectrum. In order to effectively counteract the ever-growingJew-hatred of our times, it is important to recognise the traditions thathavefed antisemitism throughout history.Antisemitism is an age-old hatreddeeplyembeddedinsocieties around the globe. While the inter- net and modern media have contributed beyond measure to the increase of Jew- hatred in all parts of the world, the transformation processes thatantisemitism has been undergoing through the ages remain the same. Acorecondition of an- tisemitism is its versatile nature and adaptability,both of which can be traced through all periods of time. Current-day antisemitism is shaped and sustained not onlybypowerful precedents but also reflects common fears and anxieties that our societies are faced with in aworld that is ever changingand where the changes run even faster todaythaneverbefore. Historical awareness of the nature of antisemitism, therefore, is more important than ever.The present volume, thus, wantstohelp raise this awareness.Its articles tracethe history of antisemitismand the tradition of antisemitic stereotypes through the ages. It documents various manifestations of antisemitism over time and reflects on the varyingmotivations for antisemitism.Assuch, these contributions shed light on socio-culturaland socio-psychological processes that have led to the spike of antisemitism in various periods of time and in varyingintensity.In this way, they can help to establish methods and policies to not onlytocounter current antisemitic manifestations but also to combat them.

    PRESSEINFORMATIONEN Ulrich Kienzle und die Siebzehn Schwaben 320 Seiten mit 18 Farbporträts, gebunden ISBN: 978-3-9812510-4-3 E-Book ISBN: 978-3-9812510-3-6 19,90 € (D) ULRICH KIENZLE UND DIE SIEBZEHN SCHWABEN Was ist schwäbisch? Für Wolfgang Schäuble ist Peer Steinbrück »die Idealbesetzung« eines »Sauschwaben«. Möglicherweise weil er, wie übrigens auch Herta Däubler- Gmelin, davon überzeugt ist, dass bei den Schwaben »eine ganze Menge zusammengeht, was anderswo nicht geht«. Heiner Geißler sagt: »Die Österreicher sind genauso Deutsche wie die Schwaben«. Und Herbert Knaup findet, dass man »mit dem Dialekt näher an der Seele dran ist«. Vielleicht auch, weil »das Schwäbische sehr zärtlich sein kann«, wie Natalia Wörner herausgefunden hat. Vor allem die identitätsstiftende Bedeutung von Sprache zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch dieses in hohem Maße faszinierende, ungemein informative und humorvolle Buch. Für die Schriftstellerin Sibylle Lewitscharoff haben die Dialekte "viel mehr im Gepäck als die Hochsprache". Und wenn der "Sozi" Erhard Eppler sich ausgerechnet auf Ludendorff beruft, der Schauspieler Herbert Knaup beschreibt, wie er sich mit Hilfe der Schauspielerei aus der Sprachlosigkeit seiner Allgäuer Heimat befreiten konnte, der Automobil-Manager Ulrich Bez erzählt, wie er seinen breiten schwäbischen Dialekt seit 40 Jahren über Stationen im "Ausland" als heimatstiftenden Anker bewahrte, dann wird es fast philosophisch. ULRICH KIENZLE UND DIE SIEBZEHN SCHWABEN Ulrich Kienzle ist zurückgekehrt zu seinen Wurzeln. Er, der in seiner langen Journalistenkarriere viele legendäre Interviews geführt hat, unter anderem mit Muammar al-Gaddafi und Saddam Hussein, hat sich auf eine Reise begeben zu eigenwilligen Deutschen. Allesamt Schwaben. Es sind die grundsätzlichen Fragen dieser so grenzenlosen Welt, die auf den Tisch kommen – Orientierung, Heimat und Sprache.

  • Stereotypes of Jews in Poland in the Context of Political Antisemitism
    Stereotypy wzajemnego postrzegania w świadomości pokoleniowej 1 Jerzy Sielski, Jan Długosz Academy Stereotypes of Jews in Poland in the Context of Political Antisemitism The perception of ethnic minorities and nationalities has its own longstanding tradition. The stereotype of Jews is linked to the phenomenon of antisemitism. One of the most well-known definitions of antisemitism belongs to Jean-Paul Sartre: “Antisemitism seeks to find, in the existence of Jews, the cause of all or some failures, personal and collective; and the belief that it is possible to solve problems through partially or totally depriving Jews of their rights, through excluding them from the economy and society, driving them out of the country or even extermination "1. Alina Cała proposes a wider definition in her monograph Żyd - wróg odwieczny? Antysemityzm w Polsce i jego źródła (The Jew – the Eternal Enemy? Antisemitism in Poland and Its Sources): Antisemitism – an ideology, a world view or political current, containing a complex prejudice, justifying a hostile attitude to Jews. The formation of the concept of nationalism and totalitarianism was based on a tradition of anti-Judaism. Sometimes, it is referred to as racism, incorrectly singling out Jews as an anthropological race. In a broader sense – the defining of social attitudes, manifesting themselves in a world view in which an important role is played by aggression, verbal or physical, disapproving generally of and showing prejudice against Jews, and justifying such conduct through religious, nationalist, racist, political or economic reasons2. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, in his book Hitler’s Willing Executioners, Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, in which he tries to understand the conduct and mentality of thousands of Germans who became the perpetrators of genocide, distinguishes three dimensions of antisemitism3.

    Understanding and Combating Anti-Semitism in America Emily Schwartz [email protected] Lesson: Understanding and Combating Anti-Semitism in America Rationale for the Lesson: Anti-Semitism is prejudice or hostility against Jewish people because of their religion. Without a doubt, anti-Semitism is a major security issue for the members of the Jewish community and is one of the leading causes of racist ideologies. While scholars have come up with some reasons explaining anti-Semitism, many agree that one major cause is stereotyping. When people make overgeneralizations and false assumptions regarding a certain group of people, then there is the likelihood of prejudice and discrimination.

RH. 6.1.4.D.19 – Explain how experiences and events may be interpreted differently by people with different cultural and individual perspectives. RH. 6.3.4.D.1 – Identify actions that are unfair or discriminatory such as bullying and propose solutions to address such actions. RH. 6.1.4.D.20 – Describe why it is important to understand the perspectives of other cultures in an interconnected world. Essential Question/Guiding Question: What does it mean to be Jewish? What is anti-Semitism and in what ways have stereotypes against this group affected them? What can we do about stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination against Jewish people? Objectives: Students will be able to understand terms including Jews, anti-Semitism, discrimination, and stereotyping. They will understand the dangers of discrimination and stereotyping.

  • The Role of Envy in Anti-Semitism by José Leopoldo Duarte A
    The Role of Envy in Anti-Semitism by José Leopoldo Duarte A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee Adam Cohen, Chair Steven L. Neuberg Paul Karoly Craig T. Nagoshi ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2015 ABSTRACT Anti-Semitism is a recurrent phenomenon in modern history, but has garnered relatively little focus among research psychologists compared to prejudice toward other groups. The present work frames anti-Semitism as a strategy for managing the implications of Jews’ extraordinary achievements compared to other groups. Anti- Semitic beliefs are sorted into two types: stereotypes that undercut the merit of Jews’ achievements by attributing them to unfair advantages such as power behind the scenes; and stereotypes that offset Jews’ achievements by attaching unfavorable traits or defects to Jews, which are unrelated to the achievement domains, e.g. irritating personalities or genetically-specific health problems. The salience of Jews’ disproportionate achievements was hypothesized as driving greater endorsement of anti-Semitic stereotypes, and envy was hypothesized as mediating this effect. Individual differences in narcissistic self-esteem and moral intuitions around in- group loyalty and equity-based fairness were hypothesized as moderating the effect of Jewish achievement on anti-Semitic beliefs. The results showed greater endorsement of undercutting – but not offsetting – stereotypes after reading about Jewish achievements, compared to Jewish culture or general American achievement conditions. Envy did not significantly mediate this effect. The moral foundation of in- group loyalty predicted greater endorsement of anti-Semitic stereotypes in the Jewish Achievement condition, and lesser endorsement in the Jewish Culture condition.

Ein Journalistenleben lang bekam er die Chance, uns zu erklären, wie er die Welt sieht. Jetzt ist er bei uns im alpha-forum, 45 Minuten lang hat er sich Zeit für uns genommen: Herzlich willkommen, Ulrich Kienzle. Kienzle: Guten Tag. Seitz: Herr Kienzle, bevor wir uns mit anderen Dingen beschäftigen, das Wichtigste nach vorne, wie sich das gehört: Sie sind eine Marke, eine journalistische Marke geworden. Und Sie haben auch ein Markenzeichen, nämlich Ihren Schnäuzer. Wann kommt der ab? Kienzle: Der kommt nicht ab. Den habe ich in einer verzweifelten Phase wachsen lassen, als ich lange Zeit kein Einreisevisum nach Südafrika bekam und immerzu warten musste, bis das Visum endlich kommt. Da habe ich das einfach mal probiert und dann fand ich ihn gut, fand, dass er mir wirklich steht. Und deshalb behalte ich ihn auch. Seitz: Gegen einen, der aussieht wie Sie, sagte Ihr leider verstorbener Partner Bodo Hauser, hat "Amerika mal den Golfkrieg geführt". Ich will dieses treffende Statement gleich mit einem Foto belegen. Sagen Sie uns doch, was Sie hier auf diesem Foto sehen. (Auf dem Foto sind Ulrich Kienzle und Saddam Hussein mit zwei Dolmetschern zu sehen. Ulrich Kienzle wie Saddam Hussein tragen schwarzen Anzug, weißes Hemd, Krawatte und jeder seinen gut sichtbaren schwarzen Schnauzbart, d. Red.)

Dr. Andrew Opel Thesis Director Dr. Martin Kavka Outside Committee Member Dr. Arienne Ferchaud Committee Member 2 Abstract Anti-Semitism in the United States is just as prevalent today as it has ever been. How does this cultural anti-Semitism translate into the media? Through portraying Jews as greedy, neurotic, pushy, money obsessed, cheap, and a myriad other negative stereotypes, the media often perpetuates long standing anti-Semitic tropes. This thesis analyzes the prevalence of Jewish stereotypes in modern television through the analysis and discussion of three of the most popular current television shows, getting into the nuance and complexity of Jewish representation. Through the deliberate viewing of Big Mouth, The Goldbergs, and Schitt’s Creek, the conclusion is that although an effort is being made to debunk some stereotypes about Jews, there are other Jewish stereotypes that have remained popular in television media. These stereotypes are harmful to Jews because they both feed and fuel the anti-Semitic attitudes of viewers.
