    accepted racism. In fact, they’ve experienced such a vast amount of hate that the term antisemitism was coined from their oppression. In my opinion, the terms antisemitism and racism relate through racial thought based essentials such as their supporter’s destructive actions toward people of a different race, their systemic discriminatory nature, and prejudice principles. Furthermore, I have realized that antisemitism and racism are comparable through their supporters’ racially based destructive actions

    Antisemitism is broken down into two areas both modern antisemitism, and political antisemitism, but even before modern antisemitism and political antisemitism there was traditional antisemitism which was spun off of Christian anti-Judaism. The traditional way was created because Christians believed the jewish people needed to be punished or reprimanded because of their rejection for Jesus Christ as the Messiah, but also for economic misbehavior and in some cases people even believed the jewish people

    Equally as important, I’ve noticed that antisemitism and racism are associated with their racially constructed prejudice principles. As mentioned continuously throughout my essay, these terms comparably show those oppressed seen as “lesser” than those of other races. In particular, I’ve found that Jews were viewed as if they were like the “unfamiliar people” that were already known as “inferior” (Burton and Loomba 21). Thus, this automatically encouraged me to believe that Jews were compared to people

    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

    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

    hurt emotionally beyond repair by the Nazi regime. What most startles me about this piece is the idea that even after the war people felt as if they had to hide their Jewish faith out of fear of Antisemitism. I liked how this story showcased the different viewpoints on Judaism during the time. While Antisemitism thrived in Europe, Mike who was an American didn’t seem to care at all that Ann was Jewish. The quote I think is worth discussing is when Ann states “My knowledge of

One method of understanding cultural diversity is through films. Films are often used as vehicles to reveal, discuss, and explore relationships, conflicts, lessons, and/or history.

    se type your response below: Antisemitism is the unfounded hatred of Jews because they are Jews. The Jews were considered permanent outsiders because of their “race”. Jews were subject to discrimination and persecution because they refused to accept the religion of the majority. Jews are hated on because of their race and they get punished if they do a single thing wrong. Some Jews had to flee Germany and leave their hometown because the Nazis don’t want any part of them.
