Antisemitism: Its History And Causes is a book written by Bernard Lazare in 1903. The book provides a comprehensive historical account of the origins and evolution of antisemitism, a phenomenon that had been prevalent in Europe for centuries.

Lazare examines the various forms of antisemitism, from religious prejudice to racial discrimination, and how they have manifested throughout history. He explores the role of influential figures, such as Martin Luther and Voltaire, in perpetuating antisemitic beliefs and stereotypes. The book also discusses the impact of the Dreyfus Affair, a political scandal that exposed the deep-rooted antisemitism in France, on the Jewish community.Throughout the book, Lazare argues that antisemitism is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that cannot be reduced to a single cause or explanation. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context in which antisemitism arises, and the need for vigilance in combating it.Overall, Antisemitism: Its History And Causes is a seminal work that provides a valuable insight into the origins and evolution of antisemitism, and its impact on society.
