New antisemitism

alone do we now suffer.” Antisemitism is the discrimination of Jewish people. The earliest recorded act of antisemitism dates back to the 3rd century B.C.E. when the Greco-Egyptian historian Manetho said that Jews were expelled from Egypt.

Jews in Europe were denied freedoms even up through the first half of the 20th century. Much of the hostility toward Jews stemmed from several unfortunate opinions.

The second opinion was that the Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus. Both of these opinions are untrue1, but were widely held in Christian Europe. A third (and most crucial in Merchant)…

Societal domination relies upon the destruction of the free will of individuals comprising the society itself. Auschwitz is the historical proof that this type of societal domination is possible. There are a few things considered to be key to societal domination in Auschwitz and these few things had to be upheld or else the system of total societal domination would collapse. These things were found in two different sources of Holocaust stories. The book “Night”, by Elie Wiesel, and the movie,…

Owing to the careful organization and overwhelming military power of the Nazi regime, groups of historians have come to understand that the Jewish population of Europe was ultimately unable to resist persecution at the hands of the staunch anti-Semites. Thus, the Jews had gone like sheep to slaughter; and had essentially allowed themselves to be led to death. However, one cannot merely conclude that the European Jewry played a completely passive part in their own near annihilation; one needs to…

One does feel sympathy for Davies when he is considered as an embodiment of Jewish presence. Furthermore, the last scene of the play wherein Davies tries desperately to win back Aston’s favour is certainly tragic and depressing…

The Halakhah is the path that someone walks. The Halakhah shows gratitude to God and gives the people of the religion a feeling of identity. Aside from the Halakhah, the entire religion looks at significant events in one’s life. A big part of the religion is the festivities and family. Hanukkah is the probably the most important holiday.

Mr. Lapidoth is a Christian character that has kidnapped his daughter, Mirah, from his Jewish wife. Mirah tells Mrs. Meyricks that her Christian father has often mocked the Jewish people. ’’I said, Father, you ought not to mimic our own people before Christians mock them: would it not be bad if I mimicked you, that they might mock you? But he only shrugged his shoulders and pinched my chin and said, you couldn’t do it my dear’’ (Eliot, 2003, 117). As discussed above, because of the Jews’…
