Thread about book about American public opinion on Jews in the mid 20th century:
Most ppl opposed limiting college admissions for Jews
People were more opposed to their kids interacting with Jews than Asians:
Opposition to intermarriage waned over time
Few ppl though Jews were active in trying to get America into war
A considerable minority thought Jews were less patriotic
Jews were considered the least willing group to join the armed forces, most likely to try to get out of fighting even more so than Germans
As the war dragged on people became more opposed to Jewish power but that waned by the 60s
For much of the war, Jews were considered a greater menace than any other group including blacks Germans or Japanese
Many people were supportive or sympathetic to a campaign against the Jews
Majority thought situation in Europe was at least partly Jews fault
But few thought driving off Jews would benefit Germany in the long run
A few people became more sympathetic due to killings in Europe
Half of Americans thought Germans would regard Hitler as a hero
And of course the "Antifa" generation was very opposed to immigrants
I'd love to see some neocon tell those people that they are less American than some illegal who walked across the border because the oppose immigration!
Anyways heres a link to the book if you wanna check it out: archive.org/details/jewsin…
