JS 325 ANTISEMITISM

Antisemitism has been called "the longest hatred" because it has existed, more or less strongly, since ancient times. At its heart is its elasticity: it changes its form depending on the religio-political context in which it appears. The course will examines its history and its contemporary relevance by looking at three contexts in which it played or plays a role: the Crusades, the Holocaust and the current debates over political Zionism.
