Anti -Semitism

economic agitationagainst Jews. In simpleterms it means Hatred

For hundreds of years Christian Europe had regarded the Jews as the Christ -killers.At one time or another Jews had been driven out of almost every European country.The way they were treated in England in the thirteenth century is a typical example.

In 1275 they were made to wear a yellow badge.

In 1287 269 Jews were hanged in the Tower of London.

This deep prejudice against Jews was still strong in the twentieth century,especially in Germany, Poland and Eastern Europe, where the Jewish populationwas very large.

After the First World War hundreds of Jews were blamed for the defeat in the War.

Prejudice against the Jews grew during the economic depression which followed.Many Germans were poor and unemployed and wanted someone to blame. Theyturned on the Jews, many of whom were rich and successful in business.

bodies of those buried to be dug up and burned to destroy all traces.

Until September 14, 1939 my


46/48

life was typical of a youngJewish boy in that part of theworld in that period of time.

I lived in a Jewish communitysurrounded by gentiles. Asidefrom my immediate family, Ihad many relatives and knewall the town people, both Jewsand gentiles. Almost two

weeks after the outbreak of thewar and shortly after my BarMitzvah, my world exploded.

In the course of the next fiveand a half years I lost my entirefamily and almost everyone Iever knew. Death, violence andbrutality became a dailyoccurrence in my life while Iwas still a young teenager.

Leonard Lerer, 1991
