Anti-Semitism

Norwegian title: Jødehat

A wide-ranging portrayal of the history of anti-Semitism from antiquity to the origins of Christianity, through the Middle Ages and the Age of Enlightenment, the Era of Racial Hatred and the Holocaust right up to the new post-war anti-Semitism. The history of anti-Semitism is long and brutal and culminated in the Nazi extermination of six million Jews. The authors aim to identify the reasons for anti-Semitism and the background for anti-Jewish feeling.

Reviews on Anti-Semitism:

'An impressive work that will remain the standard reference in the foreseeable future.' –Fredrikstad Blad

'A nearly indispensable book about an unpleasant tradition.' –Dagbladet

'It is an important work, packed with information – a learned work, a work that we can be proud of having had researchers write it.' –Drammens Tidende

'Careful and wise specification of terminology, via a broadly laid diagnosis of products from various factories for anti-Semitism. A terrifying story that takes into account the story’s many sides.' –Aftenposten
