Mr. Weiss shows how anti-Semitism and racism developed as a major element in the European political process from the late nineteenth century to the Holocaust. The reasons for these developments help us understand why the politics of racial hate succeed and what can be done about it. A concise, lucid, clear-headed account.... The strength of John Weiss's acute analysis lies in its ability to show under what historical conditions anti-Semitism could become a trigger for massive 'ethnic cleansing.'... A refreshing and important book, a timely warning that much still needs to be done. -Robert Wistrich, Hebrew University of Jerusalem | The Politics of Hate by John Weiss, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
