The link between antisemitism and the Holocaust is clearly explained in this thoughtful and balanced introductory study. Jocelyn Hellig, a renowned expert on Judaism and interfaith relations in South Africa, explores the development of antisemitism from pagan times to the present day, including coverage of such issues as Holocaust denial and antisemitism on the internet. The book engages with the current conflict in the Middle East, proposing that the recent deadlock has led to a disturbing resurgence of antisemitic thought, particularly among some Islamic fundamentalist groups.
