Overview
About This Collection
Jews and the Jewish community have long been characterized as outsiders and targets of hate. Centuries before racialized antisemitism (hatred of Jews because of “who they are” as people) emerged, the Jewish community was often ostracized, denigrated, and persecuted for theological and ideological reasons. Explore the origins and history of this prejudice and discrimination against Jews that is over a millenia old.
