"Kampf gegen das Judenthum": Gustav Stille (1845-1920)
Antisemit im deutschen Kaiserreich
Description:... Traces the life and work of Stille, a physician and writer who was one of the early protagonists of antisemitism. His writings reflect "völkisch", national, anti-liberal, racist, and antisemitic currents of the late 19th century. In his main work, "Kampf gegen das Judenthum", which appeared between 1891-1912 in eight editions, Stille called not only for the expulsion of Jews from public, cultural, and economic life, but also for the elimination of "Jewish power". In "Volkskraft und Weltpolitik", he advocated the germanization of Eastern Europe and parts of Russia, and anticipated central theses of Nazism.
