A history of antisemitism (2/4) | DW Documentary

This episode of the documentary series examines the history of antisemitism from the 12th to the 18th centuries. During these centuries, the creeping dehumanization of Jewish people on three continents reaches a new dimension.

When does a conspicuous nose, which will be used to stigmatize people of Jewish faith from then on, appear for the first time in medieval painting? How does this stigmatization transcend the boundaries of iconography to become the first discriminatory identifier in history? In this episode, director Jonathan Hayoun explores the creation of stereotypes and clichés, and their consequences: from the first “Jewish nose” in Christian painting to the expulsion of Jews from the great kingdoms of Europe and the stereotype of the “rich usurer.”

In kingdoms whose Jewish populations were no longer present, a paradoxical new phenomenon developed: an antisemitism without Jews. In certain regions where Jewish people had long ceased to live, antisemitism flourished. In the Spain of the Inquisition, the Marranos – Jews who had been forced to convert to Christianity – were oppressed. They initially found refuge in Eastern Europe, until anti-Jewish images became more popular and myths of ritual murder spread in Poland. The conclusion of this episode is the French Revolution of 1789, which forever changed the fate of Jewish people.

  1. "And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
    The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 
    Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)

    Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.

    "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him 
    should not perish but have everlasting life.
    For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)

    By God's GRACE, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely. 🙏

  2. 44:25 "The monarchies seem to be well… well founded" ?? Monarchies are always unstable and never long lasting… They always need expansion and more resources to exist in the first place, which means more exploitation.. Of course a revolution was bound to happen.

  3. I can see a lot of disinformation in this documentary. The author is saying about a popular revolt against the magnates, implying (especially for those who know little bit about the polish history) that this was happening likely across the entire Commonwealth. This popular revolt was a Khmelnytsky uprising in the eastern parts of the Commonwealth (present day Ukraine).

  4. Semitism: (1) A Semitic word or idiom; (2) Semitic traits, attributes, or customs; (3) A policy or predisposition in favor of Jews.

  5. Let them into your country look what they will do. America's downfall is due to them abusing the people and country to do their dirty work. Europe as well. Most countries in the world are controlled by them. All prominent positions are held tighter than a penny by them.

  6. The Tokugawa Shogunat had done a similar thing with a group of people who had to do executions and/or riot policing and other stuff. To this day these people are discriminated by the japanese society. They are called "mudblood".

  7. "The number one weapon of the 20th century is zionist dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist Israel. The ever scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the Africans against the Asians."
    – Malcolm X (Al-Hajj Malik Al-Shabbaz)

    "…but we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians." – Nelson Mandela, 1997.

    "Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular, children." – Nelson Mandela
