“The great merit of the authors is their systematic survey of a frightening phenomenon that had been regarded as vanquished in Germany following Auschwitz. Where does it come from, where will it lead? The two authors have brought the concealed to the light of day and broken new ground. The book is a great scholarly work.” Josef Joffe, publisher-editor of Die Zeit, and Distinguished Fellow, Stanford University

“[The book] is an absolute groundbreaker in antisemitism research. Such a detailed study based on linguistic analysis has never been done before. The book makes a highly significant contribution to the discussion on antisemitism, but not just in Germany alone.” —Yehuda Bauer, Professor of Holocaust Studies, Hebrew University, and academic advisor to Yad Vashem, Jerusalem

“The interdisciplinary study provides insight into the mental and affective fundaments of modern Judeophobia. Anyone engaged with anti-Jewish attitudes today must take note of this book.” —Michael Brenner, Professor of Jewish History and Culture, LMU Munich

“A Herculean task: the comprehensive and precise analysis of current anti-Jewish language usage. The authors have mastered an unenviable, yet necessary and crucial enterprise.” —Walter Laqueur, historian and publisher, Washington

“The first systematic analysis of antisemitic ideas and language in the 21st century, this work breaks new ground. The book is an indispensable contribution to the interdisciplinary study of antisemitism in contemporary society.” —Lars Rensmann, Professor of European Politics and Society, University of Groningen (Netherlands)
