Dr. Hsiung,
One thing that I would like an expert to explaine her in relation to antisemitism is that modersn antisemitism is different from proto-nazi antisemitism. Proto-nazi antisemitism was about jews as a social and cultural hate. Modern antisemitism has other basis such as being based on race. The nazis killed jews if their reletives were jewish, even if they themselves had converted to christianity.
I am offering here for one to read very hatefull antisemitic document written by Martin Luther in 1543. As one reads it, I do not think that they can avoid seeing how Hitler carried this writing out and how jews are portreyed by him. This document is one of thos ethat set the stage for the Nazi Holocaust. As a jew, I feel that it is my responsibility to use all of my efforts to counteract anything that has the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings . The expert on antisemitism could go into this in more detail if I was allowed to have one post here.
