This volume covers the period 1870-1933. Anti-Semitic propaganda in the years after the emancipation of the Jews drew upon an exaggerated belief in their financial, political, or intellectual successes and had as its principal theme the domination, imminent if not already achieved, of the Christian by the Jewish world. Europeans showed an increasing tendency to give a sinister interpretation to all kinds of Jewish activity, to the extent of seeing every social cataclysm, especially war and revolution, as the result of Semitic machinations.
