Jewish Persecution

Jewish persecution refers to the widespread discrimination, violence, and systemic oppression faced by Jewish people throughout history. This includes events such as the expulsion from various countries, pogroms, and, most notably, the Holocaust during World War II, where six million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime. Factors contributing to this persecution often include religious intolerance, scapegoating during economic crises, and deeply ingrained anti-Semitic stereotypes. The impact of these events has shaped Jewish identity and community resilience, leading to ongoing discussions about tolerance, human rights, and the importance of remembering history to prevent future atrocities.
