Dictionary of Antisemitism: From the Earliest Times to the Present

by Philip Rosen and Robert Michael

Book Overview

The term "antisemitism" was coined by Wilhelm Marr in 1879. Marr's secular, political racism existed inconsistently alongside his religious anti-Semitism. His self-proclaimed goal was "to free Christianity from the yoke of Judaism." While the term might not have existed before the 19th century, the persecution of the Jewish people dates back more than three thousand years.
