Antisemitism: A Historical Encyclopedia of Prejudice and Persecution

richard s. levy

"Today an unholy alliance of neo-Nazis, radical Islamists, and "anti-Imperialists" pour scorn on Jewish suffering during the Holocaust while at the same time reviving notorious forgeries like the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." A unique reference encyclopedia, Antisemitism is a comprehensive guide to antisemitism including some of its more obscure and subtle manifestations." This comprehensive history of the hatred that spawned the worst genocide in human history is a timely reminder of how even the most absurd and hateful ideas can affect the course of world events. Antisemitism is an invaluable guide for students of law, history, human rights, politics, religion, and ethnicity. This unique reference encyclopedia charts the history of both the purveyors and the victims of antisemitism over more than two millenia.
