First edition. Later boards. 8vo. 212 pages, 21 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to "A Global Hatred for a Global People: A History of Antisemitism. " A first edition of Nahum Sokolow's first published work, written in response to the pogroms that were being unleashed across the region and fueling the new Zionist movement, and published in Warsaw, the site of the 1881 Christmas Pogrom. In fact, “The term 'pogrom' became commonly used in English after a large-scale wave of anti-Jewish riots swept through south-western Imperial Russia (present-day Ukraine and Poland) from 1881 to 1884; during this time, more than 200 anti-Jewish events occurred in the Russian Empire, notably pogroms in Kiev, Warsaw and Odessa" (Wikipedia) . €œThe First Aliya followed pogroms in Russia in 1881-1882, with most of the olim (immigrants) coming from Eastern Europe…. Members of Hibbat Zion and Bilu, two early Zionist movements that were the mainstays of the First Aliya, defined their goal as 'the political, national, and spiritual resurrection of the Jewish people in Palestine'" (Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2019) . Sokolow (1859-1936) was a Zionist leader, author, and pioneer of Hebrew journalism. He was the first to translate Herzl's Altneuland into Hebrew, giving it the name Tel Aviv, which became the name of the first modern Hebrew-speaking city. SUBJECTS: Antisemitism -- History.
