englischThe volume presents interdisciplinary research on the phenomenon of mainstream antisemitism in contemporary German society. Leading experts discuss modern manifestations of everyday’s Judeophobia and its historical engraving in Western culture, anti-Israeli slurs, aspects of middle East media coverage and hate speech on the Internet. The experience of the Holocaust did not bring the strategies of verbally dehumanizing and demonizing Jews to an end. Such strategies prevail and are frequently used in modern discourse even by highly educated people from mainstream society. Empirical evidence from corpus studies and recent polls regarding anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli attitudes and verbal manifestations is described, its consequences for the German society critically discussed.

Monika Schwarz Friesel, professor at the Technical University of Berlin, is an expert for verbal antisemitism and the author of “The language of hostility against Jews in the 21st century” (together with Jehuda Reinharz).

»Auf die historischen Hintergründe und die individuellen Motivlagen antisemitischer Narrative sowie auf die verbreitete Unwissenheit bei ihrer Verwendung aufmerksam zu machen, sind ein Verdienst.«
