Anti-Semitism studies

Anti-Semitism studies examine the historical, social, and psychological factors that contribute to prejudice against Jewish people. This field analyzes the roots and evolution of anti-Jewish sentiments, including stereotypes, conspiracy theories, and discrimination throughout history, particularly during events like the Holocaust. Researchers explore how these biases manifest in various forms, from overt violence to subtle societal attitudes. By understanding the mechanisms behind anti-Semitism, scholars aim to educate, raise awareness, and promote tolerance and understanding among different communities, fostering a society that actively resists prejudice in all its forms.
