Antisemitismus in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland : Ergebnisse der empirischen Forschung von 1946-1989

A comprehensive survey of research based on opinion polls carried out in West Germany since 1945 on antisemitism in Western Europe, and in particular in Germany. Analyzes dimensions of present-day antisemitism (e.g. prejudice, discrimination, anti-Jewish stereotypes, and social rejection) and discusses the propagation of antisemitism and the attitudes of Germans towards Israel. Emphasizes comparisons of the data from ensuing decades. Historical and sociological research works mention xenophobia and the struggle to overcome the Nazi past as reasons for animosity towards Jews. Compares the results of the opinion polls with similar research done in other countries. Includes bibliographical references (pages 318-328). 328 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm
