Anti-Jewish Prejudices in German-Catholic Sermons

This study traces anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism preached by the lower Catholic clergy in villages and little towns in Germany in the 19th century. It is based on analysis of primary sources, i.e. contents of printed sermons and auxiliary works such as lexica and catechisms for students, priests, and common people. This exposure of anti-Jewish prejudices in the late 19th century constitutes the link between Catholic anti-Jewish- and Nazi ideology. Originally published in Hebrew as The Cross and the Swastika.Bacharach, Walter Z. is the author of 'Anti-Jewish Prejudices in German-Catholic Sermons' with ISBN 9780773491816 and ISBN 0773491813.
