10JS A History of Antisemitism: a documentary series in four parts: Home

Where did antisemitism begin, and how did it evolve? The first episode of this documentary series examines the roots of antisemitism, starting with the first wave of anti-Jewish violence in the year 38 in ancient Alexandria.

The French Revolution gave European Jews hope for an end to discrimination. But soon, political movements and pseudo-scientific trends gave rise to new forms of hatred.

This episode of the documentary series examines the history of antisemitism from the 12th to the 18th centuries. During these centuries, the creeping dehumanization of Jewish people on three continents reaches a new dimension.

After the fall of Germany’s "Third Reich,” the full extent of Nazi atrocities came to light. Today, after the incomprehensible crimes of Auschwitz and the Shoah, how can antisemitism still exist?
