The origin of the term "anti-semite" dates back to 1879. The German journalist Wilhelm Marr published a pamphlet called Der Weg zum Siege des Germanenthums über das Judenthum (The Way to Victory of Germanism over Judaism). He accused the Jews of being liberals, a people without roots who had Judaized Germans beyond salvation. In 1879, Marr's adherents founded the "League for Anti-Semitism", which concerned itself entirely with anti-Jewish political action.
