Publications By Marx Related To The Essay
Zur Judenfrage was first published by Marx and Arnold Ruge in February 1844 in the Deutsch–Französische Jahrbücher, a journal which ran only one issue. From December 1843 to October 1844, Bruno Bauer published the monthly Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung (General Literary Gazette) in Charlottenburg (now Berlin). In it, he responded to the critique of his own essays on the Jewish question by Marx and others. Then, in 1845, Friedrich Engels and Marx published a polemic critique of the Young Hegelians titled The Holy Family. In parts of the book, Marx again presented his views dissenting from Bauer's on the Jewish question and on political and human emancipation.
A French translation appeared 1850 in Paris in Hermann Ewerbeck's book Qu'est-ce que la bible d'après la nouvelle philosophie allemande?.
In 1879, historian Heinrich von Treitschke published an article Unsere Aussichten (Our Prospects), in which he demanded that the Jews should assimilate to German culture, and described Jewish immigrants as a danger for Germany. This article would stir a controversy, to which the newspaper Sozialdemokrat, edited by Eduard Bernstein, reacted by republishing almost the entire second part of Zur Judenfrage in June and July 1881.
The whole essay was republished in October 1890 in the Berliner Volksblatt, then edited by Wilhelm Liebknecht.
In 1926, a translation by H. J. Stenning into English language with the title On the Jewish Question appeared in a collection of essays by Marx.
A translation of Zur Judenfrage was published together with other articles of Marx in 1959 under the title "A World Without Jews". The editor Dagobert D. Runes intended to show Marx's alleged anti-Semitism. This edition has been criticized because the reader is not told that its title is not from Marx, and for distortions in the text.
A manuscript of the essay has not been transmitted.
