The phrase “study of the Jewish Question” (Erforschung der Judenfrage), abbreviated to Judenforschung, described the activity of non-Jewish academics during the Nazi regime who, from an explicitly antisemitic perspective, occupied themselves with the history of Judaism and the so-called Jewish Question. After 1933, representatives of the discipline attempted to establish themselves with a series of institutes and publication organs as a separate field of research within the humanities and social sciences. Their studies served to legitimize the anti-Jewish policies of the Nazis up to and including extermination.
