Dear Colleagues:
Winter has finally arrived in the US northeast and immobilized some of us with 3 feet of snow. The advantage of cyberspace is that there is no such weather problem, so I am happy to report on this week’s posts on the international psychoanalysis website. Unfortunately, as you know the rest of the world outside of the US northeast has not been hampered by the weather and not all the news have been good. This is reflected on our website as you will see.
As usual, I will begin with my choices, followed by the a list of all the postings.

K. In the PAPERS Category:
XXXVIII. Victory of Judaism over Germanism: Viewed from a Nonreligious Point of View
Although the term ***anti-Semitism*** was coined in 1860 by a liberal Jew named Moritz Steinschneider, it was Wilhelm Marr, a German nationalist, erstwhile socialist, and lifelong pamphleteer and agitator who popularized the term and added a layer of
pseudo-scientific racial theorizing to anti-Jewish hatred when he published his best-known and best-selling work, The Victory of Judaism over Germanism, on this date in 1879. Marr worked as a businessman and journalist and married a series of four women, the first three of whom Jewish or part-Jewish. A German nationalist who favored unifying the German states into a nation, Marr argued that Jews should be excluded from that unification unless they were thoroughly committed to assimilation. The Pan-German League in which he was active would eventually adopt Marr***s racist ideas and bar Jews from membership *** yet in the final years of his life (he died at 84 in 1904) this patriarch of Nazism actually renounced his conjuring of ***the business of anti-Semitism*** in an essay, ***Testament of an Anti-Semite.***
by Wilhelm Marr publsihed in Bern by Rudolph Costenoble in 1879, Translation Copyright ** 2009 Gerhard Rohringer on the Kevin MacDonald.net website.
