Anti-Semitism in all it* forms and
manifestations made unprecedented
strides during 5688, sweeping over
countries that had never before
known it. Here Mr. Bernstein exam-
ines the genealogy of anti-Semitism,
going back to the 17th century in
this unique and fascinating analysis
of the family tree of Jew-hatred.
—THE EDITOR
It was a passing incident, as I
recall it—something that happens
to you, makes an impression lor
a while, and then is hall-forgot-
ten for the rest of your life. Some-
thing that might have happened
for example, should an Adolf
Hitler have taken to Jew-hatred
during his youthful days in
Vienna? Surely in the home of
the late Herr Schuklgruber there
cannot have been much talk of
“international Jewry” and the
“Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
No, this kind of hatred—as are
all hatreds—was contracted, like
a disease, seeping noiselessly in-
to the unsuspecting hearts of men.
Once taught by a stem church,
it had by the middle of the nine-

such incidents it stays with you be
cause it has a certain symbolism.
I was nine years old at the time,
and my mother and I were com-
ing home from France. We got
on the boat at Cherbourg, a bit
unfriendly English liner. There
were a lot of other passengers
coming up the stairway from the
tender, and then breaking into
little unfamiliar groups. There
was a group standing right near
my mother and me. They were
Russians, and there was a little
girl there not much older than
myself. I was talking to my
mother. And my mother an-
swered. Then, in the lull, we
heard someone among the Rus-
sians talking to the girl. My
mother smiled.
“They were asking the little
girl whether she wouldn’t like
to speak English as well as you
do,” my mother said, rather flat-
tered. Then she stopped to catch
the girl’s reply, and her smile
abruptly vanished.
“What did she say?” I asked.
“Quick, what did she say?”
And my mother told me, “She
said, ‘Not if he’s a sheeny.’ ”
That was the whole incident
There was nothing more. Except
the fact that that was the only
crossing which, for some reason,
I didn’t enjoy at alL
Probably every Jew has had an
experience of that kind. It really
isn’t too important But some-
how I have remembered it There
was this child, not yet ten years
old, a pretty little girl whose face
was fresh and wholesome, yet
whose mouth was filled with
venom and meanness. She hadn’t
been born with her hatred for
“sheenies.” No child is born with
any hatred. Yet now she was in-
stilled with a bigotry which she
would never outlive. Why? Why
should anyone have this blind
senseless hatred for individuals
whom they have never seen be-
fore, will never see again? Why,

People no longer
hated the Jews because “they
killed Christ.” The Age of Science
had dawned, and men asked scien-
tific bases for their emotions. The
Pfefferkoms had become out-
moded, and the Eisenmengers be-
gan their work.
We shall not discuss here the
reasons why anti-Semitism exists.
Rather, we are discussing the
men whose rationalizations were
the foundations for the flimsy
framework of Jew-baiting. And
Eisenmenger is a good man to be-
gin with. This man Eisenmenger
was an Orientalist, a Heidelberg
professor, of whom the Hitlerized
university would be proud today.
He lived at the time the 1600’s
were rapidly becoming the 1700’s,
and his most famous book, “Jewry
Unmasked” (Entdecktes Juden-
tum), appeared in the year 1700.
It was one of the first supposedly
learned books to appear in Ger-
man rather than Latin, for Eisen-
menger had an idea the general
public would enjoy the spectacle
of unmasking Jewry. The spec-
tacle itself was a weird conglom-
eration of pseudo-science and
downright lies. It set the tone
for the anti-Jewish trash that is
now so prevalent in the good
professor’s “Aryan” homeland. He
talked about ritual murder, and
poisoning of wells, and Jewish
hatred for Christianity reaching
such a point that Jews were in-
structed to kill their Christian
neighbors.
The unmasking of Judaism
might well have been forgotten,
drifting into limbo along with the
tracts published in England, con-
cerning the Popish Plot and the
various treatises on the perfidy
of witches. But Herr Eisenmen-
ger’s researches continued to sat-
isfy a desire which had no need
for Popish or witch scares. And
Entdecktes Judentum appeared in
new edition in 1893, the Bible of
the anti-Semites. This book was
the basis of one particular type
of anti-Jewish rationalizing. For
Eisenmenger and his hordes of
imitators were trying to prove,
out of the Jews’ own mouths, how
horrible they were. Look! they
cried, it says in the Talmud that
the Jews are allowed, if not in-
structed, to kill Christians. Or
they can assault Gentile women.
Or they can collect usurious in-
terest from Gentile borrowers.
And so on. In Poland and Russia,
as well as in the German-speaking
lands, this type of Jew-baiting
rationalization became popular.
In Russia, it reached a climax
with the forging of an eerie
manuscript which was given the
magniloquent title: “The Proto-
cols of the Wise Men of Zion.”
Almost everyone knows the story
of the concocting, spread, and ex-
posure of this historical curiosity.
It is known, too, how this fraud
resulted in pogroms in Europe
shortly after the war, and the
wasting of a good deal of Henry
Ford’s fortune on the “Dearborn
Independent” at the same time.
But it is also known that the “Pro-
tocols” have been pretty definitely
discredited everywhere, and that
their birthplace—Tsarist Russia—
has changed so radically that it
is one of the few European coun-
tries with a large Jewish popu-
lation where anti-Semitism hardly
exists.
On a par with the “Protocols”
is a pamphlet printed in 1819,
written by one Hundt-Radowsky,
and entitled Jndenspiegel. This
literary masterpiece demanded
the massacre of Jews, called for
the casteration of Jewish men,
and suggested that Jewesses be
forced into prostitution as a sol-
ution to the “Jewish problem.”
