F. Roderich-Stoltheim (Theodor Fritsch)

This rare and valuable book provides a detailed analysis of Jewish behavior and thinking. This is a reprint of the English-language edition of 1927, translated from German by Capel Pownall. After Germany’s defeat in 1945, this book was banned by the Allied occupation authorities, and nearly all copies were destroyed.

Written by the influential German publicist Theodor Fritsch, it appeared under a pen name. Fritsch was best known for his “Handbook On the Jewish Question,” which went through 33 editions between 1887 and 1933, and had a tremendous influence in the decades before Hitler came to power.

The Riddle the Jew’s Success helps in understanding the scope and intensity of anti-Jewish feeling in Germany during the 1920s and 1930s.

From the Preface: "If there are riddles in the history of the nations, then the Jews most certainly present one of the chief instances; and, whoever has occupied himself with the problems of humanity, without advancing so far as the great problem of the Jews, has, so far as knowledge and experience of life are concerned, merely skimmed the surface of the subject. There is scarcely a field, from Art and Literature to Religion and Political Economy, from Politics to the most secret domains of sensuality and criminality, in which the influence of the Jewish spirit and of the Jewish entity cannot be clearly traced, and has not imparted a peculiar warp or trend to the affairs in question."
