Antisemitismus in der Stadt St. Gallen 1918-1939
Examines antisemitism in St. Gallen between 1918-39 amongst the Catholic, social-democratic, and liberal milieus. The Catholics perceived Jews as enemies of Christianity; they attacked socialism, liberalism, and Freemasonry as instruments of a world Jewish conspiracy; and they adopted racial antisemitism. The social-democrats criticized the relationship between Jews and money. The liberal milieu covered a broad spectrum of antisemitic discourse, connecting Judaism with economic success, power, or communism. Mentions the "St. Galler Tagblatt" as an instrument for transmission of anti-Jewish messages, e.g. concerning the deicide accusation and ritual slaughter. Reports on antisemitic articles which appeared in 1923-25 in four daily newspapers, and on antisemitic movements, such as the Nationale Front, Volksbund, Bund Nationalsozialistischer Eidgenossen, Eidgenössische Soziale Arbeiter-Partei, Katholische Front, and Bund Neue Schweiz.

Do good unto all
For nearly two millennia, Christians have tried to make sense of the Bible’s reminder that the poor are ‘always among us’. This volume explores the diverse range of ideas, institutions, and experiences early modern Europeans brought to bear in response to this biblical adage. Do good unto all traces the concept and practice of charity across the four major early modern Christian confessions – Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, and Anabaptist – and over a wide range of geographical areas from Scotland to Switzerland and the Spanish Atlantic World. By bringing such a diverse set of localised studies into concert for the first time, this volume exposes the many intersections and tensions that arose between and within communities as they attempted to translate the ideal of charity into practice. This comparative approach shifts the focus from binary definitions of ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’ poor or ‘Catholic’ and ‘Protestant’. Instead, Do good unto all charts a new course for the study of charity beyond institutional poor relief, where the matrix of individual ideas and experiences can be fully appreciated.
