AntiSemitism: The word was first coined in 1879 by German journalist Wilhelm Marr. He used it to describe opposition to Jews, especially their perceived racial or cultural influence, as a way to distinguish it from earlier forms of anti-Jewish sentiment.
In the pamphlet, he warned that “the Jewish spirit and Jewish consciousness have overpowered the world.” He believed that Jews had been engaging in an 1,800-year worldwide conspiracy against non-Jews that was about to succeed. He called for resistance against “this foreign power” before it was too late. Marr thought that before long “there will be absolutely no public office, even the highest one, which the Jews will not have usurped.”
