    Summary note
    A biography of the Prussian court preacher, member of Parliament, and founder of the Christian-Social Workers' Party. Ch. III, 2 (pp. 79-103), "Der Antisemit", describes the rise in the 1870s of an antisemitism directed not against Jewish religion but against Jewish liberal influence in the economy and the press. Stöcker began to engage himself and his party for this antisemitism around 1879; he opposed radical, racist antisemitism, but at times cooperated with the racists. Although members of the imperial family sympathized with Stöcker's social ideology, they censured his antisemitism. Suggests that Stöcker at first took up antisemitism as a means to hold his heterogeneous party together, but gradually became genuinely convinced of the need to eliminate Jewish influence in order to restore Christianity and social justice. Under his influence, German students and artisans founded organizations in which antisemitism played a central role. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
