In Hitler’s Munich: Jews, the Revolution, and the Rise of Nazism
Hosted By: The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art
In the aftermath of Germany’s defeat in World War I and the failed November Revolution of 1918–19, which was led by many prominent Jewish politicians, the conservative government of Bavaria identified Jews with left-wing radicalism. Munich became a hotbed of right-wing extremism, with synagogues under attack and Jews physically assaulted in the streets. It was here that Adolf Hitler established the Nazi movement and developed his antisemitic ideas. This lecture provides an account of how Bavaria’s capital city became the testing ground for Nazism and the Final Solution.
