Although the persecution of Jews has a history of at least two millennia, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century witnessed a high‐water mark in hatred against Jews, especially in western Christian societies. By antisemitism we refer to hostility—rooted in the general population and expressed in sentiments, attitudes, or actions—to Jews as a collectivity. The year 1879 constitutes an appropriate embarkation point for a study of antisemitism in that it coincides with the emergence of political parties and a press that embraced a comprehensive antisemitic ideology and is also the year in which Wilhelm Marr coined the term “antisemitism.”
