The Role of Antisemitic Doctrine in German Propaganda in the Crimea, 1941–1944

Abstract

Why did antisemitic propaganda continue in specific localities long after the Jews had been exterminated there? Relying on a case study of the Crimea, the following survey addresses this and other little-researched questions, such as how propaganda fit into the occupation regime's division of labor and how the German administration organized the means of mass information; why some antisemitic canards were emphasized and others downplayed; the balance between local and central information sources; and the role of collaborationist intellectuals. The author considers the long-term influence of Nazi propaganda on its intended audiences.

Religion, Animals, and Racialization: Articulating Islamophobia through Animal Ethics in The Netherlands

“…4 When occupied by Nazi Germany or under the influence of rampant anti-Semitism, multiple European countries banned Jewish slaughter in the 20th century (e.g., Germany and The Netherlands). Animal advocacy at times interlaced with anti-Semitic political agendas, and the exact relationship between the two deserves an in-depth study of its own (but see Wynot 1971;Metcalf 1989;Hornshøj-Møller and Culbert 1992;Brantz 2002;Tyaglyy 2004;Lavi 2007;Mesmer 2007;Collins 2010; Plach 2015 on the historical entanglements between antisemitism and campaigns against religious slaughter in Europe). For now, it suffices to mention that since the 19th and 20th centuries, Switzerland (1893), Norway (1928), Finland (1934), and Sweden (1937for cattle, 1989 for poultry) require pre-cut or concurrent stunning (for both Jewish and Islamic slaughter).…”
