Roots of Hate: Anti-Semitism in Europe Before the Holocaust

Roots of Hate: Anti-Semitism in Europe Before the Holocaust

William I. Brustein provides a systematic comparative and empirical examination of anti-Semitism in Europe before the Holocaust. Brustein studies the evolution of the four principal roots of anti-Semitism--religious, racial, economic, and political--and demonstrates how these roots became ignited in the decades before the Holocaust. The book explains the epidemic rise of modern anti-Semitism, societal differences in anti-Semitism, and how anti-Semitism varies from other forms of prejudice. The book draws upon an extensive body of data from Europe's leading newspapers and the American Jewish Year Book.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Holocaust studies gained unprecedented funding and attention from scholars, governments, and the media. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum opened a few blocks from the Washington Monument in 1993, the same year Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List opened in theaters around the country

At the same time, Internet websites, academic sounding journals, and talk-show regulars began to challenge the fundamental historicity of the Holocaust.
