Read Sachar 253-276 and the coursepack assignments for topic 6 using the
following study
questions to help you.
Write an essay based on these questions, due next Thursday.
How does Levy define antisemitism in his Introduction,
and how does antisemitism differ from age-old anti-Jewish prejudice?
Do you agree
with his definition and argument?
Does Lindemann's description of the Ostjude phenomenon fit in with this
definition?
Were the Ostjuden to blame in any sense for the rise of antisemitism?
Does Levy's definition of antisemitism help make sense of events in Hungary (Lindemann) and in the Czech lands as they appear in the two selections from Iggers?
