This remarkable copy of Ernst Simmel’s “Anti-semitism, a Social Disease” is a poignant testament to the resilience of human spirit and the power of words in the face of unspeakable tragedy. Published in the immediate aftermath of World War II, this volume stands as a searing indictment of the virulent anti-Semitism that fueled the Holocaust. Simmel, a German-Jewish philosopher and sociologist, draws upon his firsthand experiences and profound insights to dissect the insidious nature of this age-old prejudice, tracing its roots and examining its devastating consequences. With unflinching honesty and profound empathy, he exposes the moral bankruptcy of anti-Semitic ideology and its corrosive effects on society. This seminal work serves as a haunting reminder of the depths to which humanity can descend when hatred and bigotry reign unchecked, and a clarion call for vigilance against the resurgence of such malignant ideologies. For collectors and readers alike, this volume offers a profound exploration of one of history’s darkest chapters, imbued with the urgency of a lived experience and the foresight of a visionary thinker.
