- Summary
- Despite the formal emancipation of German Jews in 1869-71, they were not integrated into German society. German Jewish intellectuals felt their socio-cultural inequality especially acutely. Examines how three such intellectuals of the first post-emancipatory generation solved the dilemma of being simultaneously Jews and Germans at a time when the spearhead of antisemitic hatred turned against assimilated Jews rather than those who were culturally alien. Of these, the writer and Zionist Moritz Goldstein (1880-1977) chose to remain a Jew in the national and cultural sense. He maintained that it was assimilation that brought about the new kind of cultural antisemitism. The literary critic Julius Bab (1880-1957) believed that he was able to preserve his double German and Jewish identity. The poet Ernst Lissauer (1882-1937) advocated the complete Germanization of the Jews. Paradoxically, his super-patriotic "Song of Hatred against England" caused an antisemitic backlash during and after World War I. Both World War I and the Nazi takeover caused them to revise their views on the perspectives of German-Jewish coexistence.
