Jews and fascism : an urgent warning on a most important matter - Booklet confronting the antisemitic claims against Jews in England, published by the Co-Ordinating Committee Against Fascism in London in [1936]. Rare publication about the manifestations of German antisemitism in England before the outbreak of World War II.

"Anglo-Jewry today faces a crisis: the threat of Fascism". The author argues that the Fascists take the "easy" path by shifting the economic problem to a racial one. Instead of producing economic solutions to natural social situations, they chose to scapegoat the Jews as "guilty of all" and as if solving the "Jewish problem" would also solve the overall economic problem. The author warns that in England as well, German antisemitism may take hold because it is easier for the masses to scapegoat than produce objective solutions to objective problems. Jewish workers face the same problems as gentile workers, and it is foolish to blame Jews for the all-encompassing economic problem. The booklet details the antisemitic claims of German origin identified with by many English citizens, and confronts them one by one arguing the need to fight the growing antisemitism in England itself.

15 [1] p. Good condition.
