Abstract

Abstract: This article examines the contribution made by George L. Mosse to historical scholarship on antisemitism, in moving that work from the margins to the center of scholarship on European and German history, and in bringing the specifically cultural and intellectual dimensions of antisemitism into research on the origins of Nazism and the Holocaust. It examines his thesis of an “anti-Jewish revolution” presented in The Crisis of Germany Ideology , his assessment of the impact of World War I, as well as his arguments regarding a general theory of fascism and its European dimensions. It then examines the work of historians influenced by Mosse’s work on “the fascist revolution” who, in recent decades, have applied it to antisemitism in its Islamist forms.
