Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1. An "Antisemitism of Reason" -- 2. Racializing the Jew -- 3. The Blood and Sins of Their Fathers -- 4. Dissimilation through Scholarship -- 5. Pathologizing the Jew -- Epilogue -- Notes -- Acknowledgments -- Index
Summary: Studying the Jew investigates those German scholars who forged an interdisciplinary field to create a comprehensive portrait of the Jew, fabricating an empirical basis for Nazi antisemitic policies. In a chilling story of academics who perverted their talents and distorted their research in support of persecution and genocide, Studying the Jew explores the intersection of ideology and scholarship, the state and the university, the intellectual and his motivations, to provide a new appreciation of the use and abuse of learning and the horrors perpetrated in the name of reason.
