ABSTRACT
The Berlin movement was composed of more than the few writers who were part of the antisemitism controversy. There were other prominent figures in the movement who wrote outside the controversy, and who organized demonstrations and activities for the antisemitic cause. This chapter treats some of the most important of these figures. It first considers Ernst Henrici, who was called “the rowdy antisemite” for his dramatic and boisterous demonstrations in Berlin and other parts of Germany. His speeches are still extant and are here examined in their content. Max von Sonnenberg was another major antisemitic organizer and speech maker, whose politics are also treated. The writings of Moritz Busch, especially his tract Israel und die Gojim , are also examined. Busch is an important figure because he was Bismarck’s press secretary. The chapter concludes by considering the little known Heinrich Nordmann, who was one of the first apostles of racial antisemitism.
