Anti-Semitism: 2000 Years of History

The story of anti-Semites, of those who, over time, have made Jews their worst enemies. Indeed, at certain times in their history, societies have had a need for a common enemy to unite or galvanize their people, to divert attention, or to serve as a scapegoat. This series examines the twists and turns of this story, from Antiquity to the modern day, from the shores of the Mediterranean to those of the Volga, and from the Iberian Peninsula to the birch forests of Poland. It will encompass Stalin and Pope John XXIII, Hitler and Alfred Dreyfus, King Louis IX and Spinoza; some figures of hatred, others more benevolent. The visual framework of the narrative will comprise both the traces left around the world, and remarkable 3D historical reconstructions. Episodes: Ep: 1 - ORIGINS (38-1144) Ep: 2 - THE TIME OF REJECTION (1144-1791) Ep: 3 - FROM EMANCIPATION TO THE HOLOCAUST (1791-1945) Ep: 4 - THE NEW FACES OF ANTISEMITISM (1945-)
