Anti-Semitism in Europe before the Holocaust (original) (raw)

Old-New Anti-Semitism in Europe

Jewish Political Studies Review, 2007

Review by Malcolm F. Lowe This collection provides a needed introduction to a pressing problem. Its title could be translated as "The New Guises" or more literally as "The New Clothes of Anti-Semitism in Europe." About one-quarter of the book is an "Introduction" and the rest consists of contributions from individual authors on specific countries. Even so, it is less a comprehensive treatment than an exercise in raising awareness and promoting further involvement.

An Eternal Abyss: the Rise of Anti- Semitism in Interwar Germany

The evolution and eventual establishment of Anti-Semitism in Interwar Germany is an extremely peculiar area of study. Questions that dominate this particular subject matter often pertain to how the Nazis both implemented and cemented an egregious sentiment such as anti-Semitism; however, the lineage and subsequent evolution of European anti-Semitism as a whole is frequently overlooked in many academic works on this topic. In my paper, I attempt to investigate the Nazi's attempt to conciliate their anti- Semitic ideals within German society in relation to Europe's complex and ever-evolving historical experiences with anti- Semitism.

Antisemitism Before and Since the Holocaust: Altered Contexts and Recent Perspectives

2017

Within two months of the ending of the Second World War and in the aftermath of the worst state-perpetrated genocide ever to occur, an unpublished report by Nora Katzenstein noted the ‘unmistakable signs of a growth in anti-Semitism, more or less virulent, throughout Europe in almost every country, with very few exceptions, even in such countries where anti-Semitism was practically unknown before the war’.1

THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM ON THE STREETS OF EUROPE [Article No. 1 on Anti-Semitism Series]

THE ROOT COUSE of the Anti-Semitism is a very, very complex formula, with religious elements, mixed with economics, cultural inequalities, social conjecture, philosophical in nature, related to human relations, geography, location, traditions, etc. Anti-Semitism differs from region to region, from community to community. Anti-Semitism continually evolved into many branches over period of more than two thousand years. “…As it goes with Israel, so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish, the Holocaust will be upon us…” | Eric Hoffer, May 1968.

The New Anti-Semitic Europe 1492 – 2016 [Article No. 2 on Anti-Semitism Series]

EUROPE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE 1933-1945 HOLOCAUST, THE JEWISH GENOCIDE AND THE ACTUAL INTELLECTUAL NEO ANTI-SEMITISM AND ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES. Maybe in a generation or two of autohton, native Europeans the core, hard, Austrian-style intelectual anti-Semitism will dimm away, but with the influx of the million-plus of Middle Eastern emigrants, the trend will or can be reversed. In the age of Social Media, instant news flashes and large-stable terrorist attacks and/by International Radical Islam terrorist, all is possible.

Jewish people and anti-Semitism (from the Middle Ages until 1918). Part 1

Teaching material to combat anti-Semitism, 2018

Hate and bias towards Jews are very old phenomena, that is spread and perpetuated for centuries, even where there are no Jews at all, or where they are only a numerically insignificant minority. As a conse uence of anti-Semitism, the Jews have been persecuted, disenfranchised, looted, exiled and killed many times throughout history. The most horrible anti-Semitic crime was the Holocaust-a genocide committed to exterminate all the Jews, which was systematically planned and executed by the German Nazis, their collaborators and helpers across Europe, during the World War II. Six million Jews were killed then. To understand anti-Semitism and learn how to counter it, on the one hand, we need to learn more about the Jews, their origins, their experiences and our common history, and on the other hand, we need to understand the mechanisms behind the prejudice, hate and violence, in this particular case against the Jews, as well as their far-reaching conse uences. ЈJews are both an ethnic and a religious community. Jewish religion is called Judaism. The Jews are an ancient people, whose history can be traced back for more than five thousand years. Originating from the ancient Middle East, Jews have been living as a minority dispersed all over the world for centuries. At certain periods, they lived in peace with other peoples, and contributed to the development of economy, culture and science, and yet, at other times, they became victims of persecution and expulsion. Nevertheless, they managed to foster and preserve the awareness of their identity and religion for centuries. The Jews lived together with other peoples on the territory of the Balkans, and the present-day Serbia, for centuries. Throughout the years, the Jewish community has made a major contribution to the economic and cultural development of Serbia. In the most difficult times of the twentieth century, the Jews from Serbia, and later from Yugoslavia, have many times shared the same fate with the Serbs. During the World War II, more than 80 of Yugoslav Jewry perished in the Holocaust. Today, the Jewish community in Serbia is small, with active community organizations in several cities, with their seat in Belgrade. We study about anti-Semitism not only because it is our civilizational, moral, and human obligation, but also because by learning about our coexistence with the Jews, we learn about our own history, and ourselves and we understand it better. In addition, the process of adopting contemporary values of tolerance, non-discrimination and respect for human and civil rights as universal values, began after the World War II, when the world was confronted by the horrors

The Rise of Anti-Semitism in Germany

The New Turkey, 2019

A country like Germany, with its historical responsibility and its multi-cultural and multi-religious society, faces an outstanding challenge in protecting the lives of minorities. That these minorities are not played off against each other is part of this responsibility.
