Written by top scholars in an accessible manner, this unique
encyclopedia offers worldwide coverage of the origins, forms,
practitioners, and effects of antisemitism, leading to the
Holocaust and surviving to the present day. The word "antisemite"
was first used to describe a politically motivated enemy of the
Jews in 1879. The subject of antisemitism has often been focused on
the Holocaust; however, current events and history have much to add
to this discussion. For example, in 1995 a Japanese pseudo-Buddhist
religious cult, imagining itself to be under attack by Jews,
released sarin gas on the Tokyo subway, killing 12. From 1881 to
1900 there were 128 public accusations of Jewish "ritual murder"
allegedly involving the killing of Christian children to use their
blood for religious purposes. Entries in this encyclopedia span the
period from ancient Egypt to the modern era. Key theoreticians of
Jew-hatred and their written works, its permeation of Christianity
and modern Islam, and its political, artistic, and economic
manifestations are covered. This is the first comprehensive work
that deals with the entire history of ideas and practices that
engendered the Holocaust.
