“Paul Anton de Lagarde was a German biblical scholar and orientalist, sometimes regarded as one of the greatest orientalists of the 19th century. Lagarde's strong support of anti-Semitism, vocal opposition to Christianity, [his] Social Darwinism and [his] anti-Slavism are viewed as having been among the most influential in supporting the ideology of Nazism.” (wikipedia).

Gottheil “was an English American Semitic scholar, Zionist, founding father of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, and one of the founders of the Jewish Institute of Religion in New York.”He was also “president of the American Federation of Zionists (from 1898 to 1904), and worked with both Stephen S.
