A Collection [5] of Antisemitic Books. Germany and France. And of the 19th and Beginning of the 20th Centuries
* L'Esprit Juif by Gore O' Thouma, Tulle [France], 1888. An antisemitic work in French, which argues that the Jews are racially weak according to their own view of themselves.
* Zur rassen und ostjudenfrag by Dr. e.zivier. Poznan [Germany] 1916, German. An antisemitic work which discusses "The racial problem of the Eastern Jews", with many claims of racially inferiority of Eastern European Jews.
* La conscienee chretienne et l' affaire dreyfos [The Christian Conscience and the Dreyfus Affair], by Labbe Pichot, Paris 1899, published by societe d'editions litteraires. 
* Die Juden in Deutschland, published by Franz Eher Nachf. Munich, 1936, German. A book published through the initiative of "The Institute for Research of the Jewish Question in Germany", and which had a great influence on increasing antisemitism within the highly educated sector of the German population in the 1930's. The book is full of antisemitic claims about the Jews who are presented as the main cause for all of Germany's troubles. At the beginning of the book is a quote from the Minister of Propaganda Jospeh Goebbels from a speech which he delivered in 1933 in Nuremberg - where he expresses the famous claim that "The Jews are to be blamed for everything"  saying: "It is under no circumstances an injustice, that we have found the Jews to be the ones mainly guilty for the general tragedy around us. We are aware of all of the other causes, the aspects which led to the dimming of our nation. But we also have to be brave and call the child by its name..." [the source is in German]. On the book's title page is the official stamp of the German Reich. OCLC lists only five copies of this book throughout the world.
* Blutbeschuldigung der Juden [The Blood Guilt of the Jews], published by Walther & Apolant, Berlin, 1882. In the book the author reveals various official documents [most of them from the same year - 1882] which were published in various legal opportunities in Germany, in which the blood libel of Christian blood from the Middle Ages, regarding use of Christian blood to bake matzot on Pesach still appears, and not, as there were those who thought, that this was a libel which disappeared from the world.
Varying sizes and conditions. Overall fine condition.
