A Final Word
"Bill Williams. "Jews and Other Foreigners
The 1930s were, of course, years of heightening crisis for the Jews of Europe. But this was not only true for those directly living under Nazi rule. Jews who lived on the peripheries of the Third Reich often watched helplessly as their coreligionists were stripped of their civil rights, and persecution became a daily endurance. In the early years following the Nazi seizure of power (machtergreifung), some pondered economic boycotts and internatio…
A veritable Janus at the gates of Jewry’
Historians of British antisemitism consider Arnold White (publicist, author, journalist, campaigner) a key exponent of racially orientated anti-Jewish sentiment in the United Kingdom in the period before the First World War. These attitudes were repeatedly demonstrated by his vehement opposition to East European Jewish immigration and underscored by a large literary output on the topic. In the late 1880s, White frequently clashed with leading Ang…

Moses Montefiore. Jewish Liberator. Imperial Hero
Breaking or Making the Silence? British Jews and East European Jewish Relief, 1914-1917
In 1839, the dynamics of Anglo–Jewish philanthropy shifted from their traditional focus on internal, domestic wants and needs, to an external and international concern.1 This was the year that Sir Moses Montefiore, perhaps the single most important Anglo–Jewish figure of the nineteenth century, instigated a scheme to promote artisanal and agricultural skills in the Jerusalem Yishuv.2 Henceforward, Anglo-Jewry was frequently concerned, intellectua…
Jews in the Russian Army, 1827–1917. Drafted into Modernity
Communism in Russia Only Exists on Paper’
This article revisits the motives behind the Czechoslovak scheme ‘Russian Action’, which granted thousands of Russian émigrés residence and financial support in Czechoslovakia during the 1920s and 1930s. In particular, it looks at the efforts to bring to Czechoslovakia Russian civil war refugees living in Constantinople. Historians have conventionally focused on Prague as the home to intellectual and cultural exiles from Russia and have also decr…
"Within the Pale." British Intellectual Society and the Image of the Russian Jew, 1890-1907
Within the Pale": This paper examines British responses to the East European Jew in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Unlike other analyses, which have concentrated on the impact of Jewish immigration to the UK and the so-called aliens' debate, the author interprets the narrative constructed by British commentators who visited the Tsarist Empire (sometimes to specifically examine its "Jewish Question") and who spent long periods …
Confronting the East
Surveys of British attitudes towards Tsarist Russia, and especially the treatment of its Jewish population, invariably mention the publication Darkest Russia (DR). There is, however, no critical ex
Russia and the Origins of Twentieth‐century Antisemitism
In seeking explanations for the origins of modern antisemitism, historians have often dwelt extensively on the developments in anti‐Jewish discourse in nineteenth‐century Imperial Germany and the Hapsburg Empire. The role played by the Tsarist Empire – darkest, backward Russia – has frequently been overlooked or underplayed. Until the past decade or so, antisemitism in the dying days of Tsarism was often characterised as little different from its…
