SummaryThroughout the histories of two of the world’s major religions, there has been immense effort to keep separate from one another by focusing on differences rather than similarities. In time Christianity became the oppressor of the religion that gave it life, merely because it could not or refused to comprehend Judaism, an attitude that has led to tragedies ranging from the pogroms conducted against Jews during the years of the Black Death, to the horror of the Holocaust. Is there a justification for anti-Semitism within the Christian religion? Or is this hatred based, as prejudices generally are, on ignorance and fear of what one does not identify with?
