Summary:

In both Germany and Poland--primary locations of the Holocaust--the legacy of antisemitism remains a major obstacle to reconciliation with the past. Thomas Just asks: How does antisemitism typically manifest in these countries? What counterstrategies are being employed? And with what effect? Addressing these questions, Just contributes to a deeper understanding of the disturbing influence of antisemitic hatred worldwide and identifies best practices to combat it.
