Why, throughout history, have Jews been persecuted in nearly every corner of the world? From the Roman Empire to the Nazi Holocaust, through the Crusades, epidemics, the Inquisition, and the racial theories of the 19th century, this video takes you on a powerful, painful, and deeply revealing journey.

We explore the origins of religious antisemitism, its transformation into economic hatred, its mutation into pseudoscience… and its culmination in modern genocide.
