註釋Pp. 123-217, "Das Verhältnis der Linken zu den Juden", deal with anti-capitalism and antisemitism in the 19th century; xenophobia among the working class; the relationship of the Left to nationalism, religion, and Zionism; Left-wing reactions to antisemitism; the KPD's opinion on the "Jewish question"; the SDP and antisemitism; and left-wing philosemitism. Contends that the Left did not constitute a protective force for the Jews, since all left-wing groups had some religious, historical, or sociological reservations concerning them. The Jews were viewed as part of the middle-class, therefore belonging to the opposite side of the "barricades". The Jews themselves approached the Left mainly in response to antisemitic pressure. However, although individual Jews were associated with capitalism, Judaism as an abstraction was connected to nomadism, revolution, and modernity. Antisemitic thinkers could therefore reject Judaism while keeping up contacts with individual Jews. Influenced by the industrial and technical revolution, the Jews entered politics, fighting for emancipation, more or less at the same time as the socialists. The Jews wanted to assimiliate but, influenced by nationalism and antisemitism, they turned to Jewish nationhood in the form of Zionism towards the end of the 19th century. Over the course of the 20th century, the ideas of enlightenment and liberalism, which had brought the Jews equal rights, weakened, and the situation of the Jews became increasingly insecure. Concludes that unsolvable intra-Jewish divides, the sociologically and ideologically conditioned tensions with the Left, and the strength of German antisemitism caused the annihiliation of the Jewish minority in Germany.
