- Synopsis
- Two works examining antisemitism and the scapegoating of minorities by the founder of the world&’s oldest institution dedicated to studying the Holocaust.The inaugural title in a collaboration between the Wiener Library and Granta Books.These two pamphlets, &“Prelude to Pogroms? Facts for the Thoughtful&” and &“German Judaism in Political, Economic and Cultural Terms&” mark the first time that Alfred Wiener, the founder of the Wiener Holocaust Library, has been published in English. Together they offer a vital insight into the antisemitic onslaught Germany&’s Jews were subjected to as the Nazi Party rose to power, and introduce a sharp and sympathetic thinker and speaker to a contemporary audience. Tackling issues such as the planned rise of antisemitism and the scapegoating of minorities, these pamphlets speak as urgently to the contemporary moment as they provide a window on to the past.
