Focus is placed on his 1973 film Israel, Why, which documents the creation of the Jewish state, his 1985 magnum opus Shoah, and the 1994 documentary Tsahal that analyzed the contradictions and complications of Israeli society. The article views Lanzmann’s work as a kaleidoscopic prism that helps us understand the meaning and impact of the Holocaust. His films also address questions about the ethics of art and its contract with the audience, as well as its role in processing, shaping, and preserving human memory.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114443743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This basic anti-Judaism informed his violent polemics and his supposed \"friendly\" work on the Jews written earlier when he believed they would soon be converted. His anti-Judaism was integrated with his political thought. Spiritually, the Jews were the worst of the opponents of salvation by grace; politically, they were a suspect people nearly always in breach of the temporal government's laws over blasphemy. Based on this anti-Judaism, in the face of his failure to convert Jews to the Reformation, Luther came to conclude that Jews must be forced by the temporal authorities to either leave or face expulsion.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117314943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While antisemitism in Germany has been studied extensively, the Holocaust has distorted our understanding of its significance in the decades prior to the Third Reich, making it appear more pathological and dangerous than it actually was in reality. At the same time, America's reputation is that of a \"Golden Land\" spared from the hatred and terror of Europe. Its antisemitism, therefore, must have been qualitatively different and fundamentally benign. Placing these two societies side by side helps us assess the validity of both common depictions. What we see are two anti-Jewish environments that were not nearly so different as one has come to assume. This reminds us of the importance of looking at history going forward, not back through the distorting lens of the Holocaust.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123595457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Violence and riots have frequently occurred for many years in football games in many countries, committed by fans of a club or by hooligans. Antisemitism has also become common at games, with football clubs using antisemitic language and symbols against their rivals. Sometimes, antisemitism is used by far-right political organizations at football stadiums for propaganda purposes and as a device to incite violence. It is interesting, and puzzling, that some fans of two teams, Spurs in London, and Ajax in Amsterdam, have declared themselves \"Jewish,\" and adopted and displayed Jewish symbols, as a response to antisemitic attacks on their club. While it is difficult to eradicate manifestations of antisemitism, it is encouraging that various private organizations, football clubs, and local and national governmental bodies have begun to formulate rules to punish those responsible for antisemitic language and actions.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117082035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To a large extent this is true: many Russians believe there is a foreign plot to undermine Russia. Accordingly, they share anti-Western attitudes which, in turn, can be used by the authorities. Russia's long history of antisemitism leads one to ask how it has operated during Putin's years of rule. While many Russians were keen on antisemitic conspiracy theories during the 1990s, after 2000 anti-Jewish animus in the public realm declined. In fact, many high-ranking politicians and journalists caught sharing antisemitic ideas in public have been forced to apologize for their behaviour. This article seeks to explore the peculiarities of antisemitic conspiracy theories within the larger Russian culture of conspiracy after the collapse of communism in 1991.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133982651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
