The War Against the Jew

An A-to-Z reference guide to the major figures, concepts, and events factoring into antisemitic hatred and violence across history. In The War Against the Jews, Dagobert D. Runes presents a scholarly account of antisemitism across centuries of war, slander, atrocities, and bigotry as it has manifested around the world. Concise entries cover everything from major figures of the Catholic Church who endorsed hate to code names for little-known Nazi plans. Here, readers can learn how Russian emperor Alexander I expelled Jews from Russian towns in the nineteenth century, a fifteenth-century Franciscan friar travelled through Europe spreading fear of Jews as baby killers, the ominous prayer recited by Protestant and Catholic bishops on Hitler's fiftieth birthday, and much more.
