Description

Summary

Examines the political relationships between ethnic Germans and Jews in the former Austrian, Hungarian, and Russian provinces of Romania, as reflected in newspapers and politicians' correspondence. While these relations differed from province to province for historical, sociological, and demographic reasons, in general until 1933 the conservative ethnic German leadership, although inclined to antisemitism, was conscious of the importance of working with Jews and other minorities to secure minority rights. (But attempts to form a minorities bloc failed.) In 1933 the leadership welcomed the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany and expressed understanding for its measures to reduce the influence of the Jews in Germany, but opposed Nazi efforts to impose the same ideology on the German minorities in other countries. However, a new generation of German nationalists, organized in the early 1920s as the "Selbsthilfe, " and their sympathizers in other parties, increasingly took over the leadership and set a new, radically antisemitic tone.
