antisemitism

Chronicles the history of prejudices held against Jewish people by other groups.

Despite the belief that Jews went willingly to their deaths in Nazi gas chambers, many risked everything to help their fellow prisoners.

Explores the issues of anti-semitism, including: social factors that contribute to anti-semitism; the relationship between Christianity, Islam, and anti-semitism; opposition to Israeli policy linked to anti-semitism; political groups and anti-semitism.

Journalist and political advocate Tarek Fatah explores the divide between Muslims and Jews, drawing on research to discuss the roots of the conflict and addressing passages in the Quran which can be viewed as anti-Semitic.

In this provocative book, Marvin Perry and Frederick M. Schweitzer analyze the lies, misperceptions, and myths about Jews and Judaism that antisemites have propagated throughout the centuries. The book examines ancient and medieval myths central to the history of antisemitism: Jews as "Christ-killers," instruments of Satan, and ritual murderers of Christian children. It also explores the scapegoating of Jews in the modern world as conspirators bent on world domination; extortionists who manufactured the Holocaust as a hoax designed to gain reparation payments from Germany; and the leaders of the slave trade that put Africa in chains. No other book has focused its attention exclusively on a thematic discussion of historic and contemporary antisemitic myths, covering such an expansive scope of time, and allowing for such a painstaking level of exemplification.

The current revival of antisemitism in Europe and the demonization of Jews in parts of the Muslim world give special importance to the exposure of the myths and lies that for centuries led people to regard Jews as the dangerous "other" and that led to violence and persecution. This provocative anthology presents 90 documents that focus on the nature, evolution, and meaning of the principal myths that have made antisemitism such a lethal force in history: Jews as deicides, ritual murderers, agents of Satan, international conspirators, and conniving, unscrupulous Shylocks. Also included are documents illustrating the recent revival of classical myths about Jews among black nationalists, Holocaust deniers, and Islamic fundamentalists.

Documentary on America's anti-Semitic social and political climate in the thirties and forties even in the face of the Nazi persecution in Germany.

This stunning documentary takes an unsparing look at the ways words have shaped the experience of Jewish people, from the first century to the present - a revealing history of anti-Semitism with roots long before the Holocaust and branches that continue to sprout in surprising places today.

To recall that "Hitler gave me a job when I was out of work" (rather than that "Hitler genocidally murdered 6 million Jews") seems a perverse falsification of history. This memoir of the 1930s is just such a falsification and, for this very reason, is naively truthful.
