Before the nineteenth century antisemitism was largely religious, based on the belief that the Jews were responsible for Jesus' crucifixion. It was expressed later in the Middle Ages by persecutions and expulsions, economic and personal restrictions. After Jewish emancipation during the enlightenment, religious antisemitism was slowly replaced in the nineteenth century by racial prejudice, stemming from the idea of Jews as a distinct race. In Germany theories of Aryan racial superiority and charges of Jewish domination in the economy and politics in addition with other anti-Jewish propaganda led to the rise of antisemitism. This growth in antisemitic belief led to Adolf Hitler's rise to power and eventual extermination of nearly six million Jews in the holocaust of World War II. (holocaust encyclopedia)

Anti-semitism did not start with Adolf Hitler. Even though the use of the term goes back to the 1870's, there is evidence of cruelty towards Jews in ancient times. The ancient Romans destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and forced Jews to leave. The Enlightenment, during the 17th-18th centuries emphasized religious toleration. In the 19th century European rulers enacted legislation that ended restrictions on Jews.
The Holocaust was the systematic murder of the Jews in Europe by the German Nazis during the Second World War. Between 1933 and 1945 in any location that Hitler controlled, Jews were systematically selected for discrimination and extermination as Hitler attempted to make his land Judenrein, free of Jews. Upon their rise to power in 1933, Nazi Germany persecuted Jews in Germany with laws and propaganda, even blaming the country’s economic trials on Jews and calling for their removal from positions of authority. This anti-Semitism became violent during Kristallnacht, in which Jewish businesses were destroyed in Germany. The anti-Semitism continued into WWII, when the Nazis began the mass shootings of Jews by mobile killing squads made up of Nazis
The hatred of Jews otherwise known as anti-Semitism is an ancient hatred that continued to develop and intensify over the course of two thousand years (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, June 2014). The foundation of anti-Semitism was solidified by Christian declarations that attributed Jewish adherents with responsibility for the crucifixion of Jesus (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, June 2014). Stereotypes and persecution quickly progressed, with the dispersal of Jews throughout European society regarded as an appropriate punishment for their ‘crimes’. Europe during the early centuries of the modern era was a society wherein religion was the basis of self-identity and public life. As Europe was predominately Christian, Jewish citizens were victimized through vicious stereotypes, exclusion from noble professions, scapegoating and countless other forms of oppression. Though the degree of mistreatment fluctuated over time, it was the transformation of anti-Semitism in the late nineteenth century from a religious hatred to a racial hatred that formed a much deeper and malignant type of Jewish animosity. This transformation was the result of widening acceptance of scientific concepts such as evolutionary theory. Through the support of Darwinian’s Theory of evolution, Social Darwinism and the notion
In the 1930s and 1940s Anti Semitism was wide spread in Germany under the Nazi Government. The treatment of Jews in Germany during this time was extremely brutal and harrowing. The human rights abuses against Jewish people in Nazi Germany during the world war two periods are extremely well documented. Anti Semitism ranged from the outlawing of marriage between Jews and gentiles, the Nazi regime sanctioned destruction of Jewish homes and synagogue and of course the holocaust. The holocaust is one of the darkest moments in modern history where approximately six million Jews were killed in extermination camps in Poland which was occupied by Nazi Germany at the time. Anti-Semitism was deeply engrained in the policies, ideology and dogma of the Nazi party in Germany during world war two. Anti-Semitism was no new phenomena in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. Anti-Semitism in both a religious and racial sense has existed and developed for over 2000 years across
“Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat, blaming them for Germany's economic and social problems,” (“Background: Life Before”). Germany during Hitler’s rise was desperate for change and hope. When Hitler brought the German people up from economic troubles that came from World War 1 they were more than willing to agree and do nearly anything Hitler said. Hitler took his antisemitism to the extreme with the help of his people were able to conduct one of the worst mass killings known to man. Anti Semitism may have existed beforehand but it was never on the scale of what the Holocaust
Antisemitism has been an issue since the beginning of monotheism, yet it is a relatively modern term. "the roots of Jew-hatred lie in folklore and popular prejudices dating back to antiquity."(Caplan Web) Jews have received stereotypes from breaking the human relation with God to being greedy and wealthy. The Jewish population has been persecuted harshly for centuries; not just in the case of the Holocaust but in many medieval cases too. Even religions that are branched off from Judaism have used anti-Semitic tactics. Christians in Europe during the medieval times forced Jews to live in a ghetto and prohibited them form owning land. This caused the Jewish population to make income by loaning money. This is where the stereotype of Jews being
The basis of Jewish discrimination also resides in the Holocaust during World War II. The Holocaust was the systematic, brutal persecution of Jews sponsored by the Nazi regime in Germany. Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazis, believed that the Germans were of the racially superior Aryan race. Jewish people, who were considered to be racially inferior, were seen as a threat to the German community. (“Introduction to the Holocaust.” 1). In order to cleanse German society of Jews, Hitler proposed the “Final Solution”, which was a plan to exterminate the Jewish population. Concentration camps, forced labor centers, and gassing facilities were soon established by German officials to round up, detain, and annihilate the Jewish population. In total, the Holocaust was responsible for the murder of six million Jews (“Introduction to the Holocaust.” 1). In modern society, Jewish people have been discriminated against because of the assumption that they refer to their treatment in the Holocaust too often. Others even believe the Holocaust to be an exaggerated event or a blown up myth. As a result, Jewish people are considered to be a population that is only

Anti-Semitism is the hostility and discriminations against Jews of any culture or nationality and is widely considered to be a form of racism. The term Anti-Semitism was created in 1879 by a German protestor, Wilhelm Marr (Britannica, 2016). The purpose of Anti-Semitism at that time was because to entitle the anti-Jewish campaigns under way in Central Europe (Britannica, 2016). Although, the Anti-Semitism has wide popularity during that era, it is completely inaccurate and threatened many lives of innocent Jews. Therefore, the Anti-Semitic was around Germany even before Hitler came the leader of the ‘National Socialist Party’ and further enhanced this discriminant idea. Mot to mention that Hitler grew up in Austria, a place where Jews were
After the Nazi power achieved power in Germany in 1933, its state-sponsored racism led to anti-jewish legislation, economic boycotts, and the violence of the kristallnacht (Night of Broken glass) pogroms and Nazis blamed Jews for the lost of World War 1 , All of which aimed to separate Jews from society and take them out of the country. And by also 1933 anti-jewish propaganda had spreaded all over Germany.
At the start of the 19th century, anti-Semitism was an idea that was fading into history. During the 1800s, which was a period of political modernisation, social reforms and industrial growth across Europe, it delivered many legal reforms that for a short period of time improved the rights of Jews. For example, in 1830 the French government recognised Judaism as an official religion. However, despite these reforms anti-Semitism survived and during the mid 1800s it began to increase once again. The revival of this anti-Semitism can be said to be fueled by two significant political movements; German unification and Zionism.
