13. This problem has given rise to a large literature that is interesting in its
speculations, but sparse in convincing conclusions. In English the two best
studies are: S. Bloom, 'Karl Marx and the Jews', Jewish Social Studies (1942),
and E. Silberner, 'Was Marx an Antisemite?', Judaica (1949). At greater
length there is a study which draws on all the available - and sometimes
unavailable - evidence to demonstrate Marx's anti-semitism and pathological
Jewish self-hate in A. Kiinzli's Karl Marx: Eine Psychographie (Vienna, 1966).
From the opposite point of view, A. Massiczek in Der Menschliche Mensch:
Karl Marx's jiidischer Humanismus (Vienna, 1968 ) argues that all the positive
elements in Marx's humanism came from his Jewish upbringing. A good all-
round discussion of the literature is H. Lamm, 'Karl Marx und das Judentum',
in Karl Marx 1818-1968 (Mainz, 1968).
