For more than a thousand years the Jews have been objects of prejudice, hatred, bloody persecutions and massacres. Even today, despite the horrors of Hitler's holocaust, groups of neo-Nazis continue to form. In this well illustrated volume historian Roberto Finzi looks at the religious origins of this prejudice and investigates how anti-Semitism has spread even in secular, educated societies. The book provides a succinct history of the most significant, expressions of modern anti-Semitism from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, including the infamous Dreyfus case, a microcosm of the prejudice in the heart of Europe that led to the vicious pogroms that swept across its Eastern half and eventually gave rise to the racist ideology of the Nazis.This brief volume can describe only the tip of the iceberg of the anti-Jewish feeling which has tragically shaped our modern world, yet Finzi's cogent analysis goes a long way toward helping us identify the elements that compose its gre… (more)

"Male oscuro" che a lungo ha covato nell'organismo dell 'Europa, l'antisemitismo moderno è la punta di un iceberg sotto cui si cela una grande parte immersa fatta di pregiudizi e di false credenze.
Sia che si tratti dei pogrom nella Russia zarista, del caso Dreyfus che divise la Francia, dello stereotipo del "complotto sionista", dell'antisemitismo come arma di lotta politica nell'Unione Sovietica o dell'annientamento di sei milioni di ebrei nei lager nazisti, questo è il secolo in cui l'awersione per gli ebrei registra un agghiacciante salto di qualità.
Proprio quando l'integrazione della presenza ebraica nelle società borghesi sembrava essere un fatto acquisito, sull'antiebraismo di matrice religiosa prevale l'antisemitismo fondato su pseudoscientifiche teorie razziste.
Il regime nazista considera gli ebrei "non degni di vivere" e allestisce una efficiente macchina della morte che sovrintende alla "soluzione finale".
A mezzo secolo dagli orrori della shoah, il "male oscuro" è ancora un tema di sconcertante attualità. ( )
