19世纪80年代之前,美国社会中只出现过零星的反犹现象,程度不是十分强烈。1880-1914年间,近两百万东欧犹太移民的迁入,使美国社会中潜伏的反犹太主义激化。这股反犹太主义潮流一定程度上源于种族偏见、宗教偏见和群体矛盾,也有土生美国人对犹太人经济影响力的恐惧成分。不过,它主要局限于私人领域,其破坏性没有东欧由政府支持的反犹集体迫害那样大。
Before the 1980s, there were only sporadic anti-Semitic phenomena in American society, not to a very high degree. From 1880 to 1914, the immigration of nearly two million Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe intensified the lurid anti-Semitism in American society. This trend toward anti-Semitism stems in part from racial prejudices, religious prejudices and group conflicts, as well as the horrifying influence of Native Americans on the Jewish economy. However, it is largely confined to the private sector, which is less devastating than the persecution of anti-Semitic groups in Eastern Europe supported by the government.
