Studying the Jew Book PDF Summary
“Exposes the culpability of scholars who collaborated with Nazi race policy . . . an excellent [book] . . . to understand the mentality of ‘desk murderers.’” (Claudia Koonz, author of The Nazi Conscience) Early in his political career, Adolf Hitler declared the importance of what he called “an antisemitism of reason.” He hoped that his exclusionary and violent policies would be legitimized by scientific scholarship. The result was a disturbing, and long-overlooked, aspect of National Socialism: Nazi Jewish Studies. Studying the Jew investigates the careers of a few dozen German scholars who forged an interdisciplinary field, drawing upon studies in anthropology, biology, religion, history, and the social sciences to create a comprehensive portrait of the Jew?one with devastating consequences. Working within the universities and research institutions of the Third Reich, these men fabricated an elaborate empirical basis to support the Nazi campaign against Jews by defining them as racially alien, morally corrupt, and inherently criminal. A chilling story of academics who distorted their research in support of persecution and genocide, Studying the Jew explores the intersection of ideology and scholarship to provide a new appreciation of the horrors perpetrated in the name of reason. “This brilliant new book reveals how the academy became nazified, shaping a new interdisciplinary enterprise: pathologizing the Jew.” —Susannah Heschel, author of Abraham Geigerand theJewish Jesus “An essential sequel to Max Weinreich's classic of 1946, Hitler's Professors. [Studying the Jew] is a valuable contribution to the extensive history of politicization of scholarship in modern dictatorships.” —Jeffrey Herf, author of The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda during World War II and the Holocaust
