Overview

Tracing the origins and manifestations of anti-Semitism, this chronicle illustrates how this form of discrimination has featured in the history of Western civilization for more than 3,000 years. Against a background of intolerance and condemnation, this reconstruction describes Jewish emancipation from the late 18th century and its gradual transformation into the parallel political and nationalistic ideal of Zionism. A unique exploration of the origins of Arab and organized communist anti-Semitism as well as Nazi racism is also included. From political opposition and racial persecution to religious and philosophical justification for some of history s most outrageous acts, this shocking examination reveals that what the 20th century has seen through the lens of the holocaust is only the beginning."
