Was the Real Thomas Mann an Antisemite?
Examines four novellas by Thomas Mann, into which he overtly or covertly placed Jewish characters: "The Will for Happiness", "Gladius Dei", "Tristan", and "The Blood of the Walsungs". Argues that these novellas show Mann as an antisemite. His early collaboration with the voelkisch-nationalist periodical "Das zwanzigste Jahrhundert", to which he contributed a number of essays touching on the "Jewish question", and some other details of his biography corroborate this impression.
