Kurt Baschwitz (1886-1968) had a lifelong fascination for ‘the riddle of the
mass’ in both its visible and invisible forms. He was a major pioneer of communication
and media studies on the European continent, an early student
of the social, political, and mass psychology of crowds, publics, audiences,
and public opinion, as well as a versatile social historian. Half a century
after his death, however, he risks being forgotten and misunderstood, falling
through the cracks of history.
