The Jewish Problem: And Its Solution (1883)

By Arnold Frank

Book Overview

The Jewish Problem: And Its Solution is a book written by Arnold Frank and originally published in 1883. The book explores the issue of anti-Semitism and the perceived ""Jewish problem"" in Europe during the late 19th century. Frank argues that the root of the problem lies in the fact that Jews have historically been excluded from mainstream society and forced to live in ghettos, which has led to a sense of alienation and mistrust between Jews and non-Jews. Frank's proposed solution to the Jewish problem is assimilation, or the integration of Jews into mainstream society. He argues that if Jews were allowed to fully participate in society and shed their distinct cultural and religious identity, anti-Semitism would disappear. Frank also advocates for the education of Jews, particularly in secular subjects, as a means of achieving this assimilation. The book was controversial at the time of its publication, with some Jewish leaders criticizing Frank's assimilationist views as a betrayal of Jewish identity. However, it also received praise from some non-Jewish intellectuals who saw it as a progressive solution to the Jewish problem. Today, The Jewish Problem: And Its Solution is seen as an important historical document in the study of anti-Semitism and Jewish assimilation in Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
