Description
In the beginning of the 20th century the pogroms caused the migration of Jews from Eastern Europe to Western Europe and USA. A few thousand of these Jews came to Denmark and became part of the Danish society. In this paper Iwill discuss the Danish politicians' politisation of Jews and Judaism during 1903-20, and further the shaping of the relations between Jews, Judaism and the Danish society. In other words how have politicians attempted to construct "Danishness" and "otherness" in certain ways. The primary source is the debates on Jews in the parliamentary archives. The paper will also include a description on the Jewish community during the period.
