Chiefly the history of prejudice against the Ashkenazim, this volume demonstrates that organized anti-Semitism was unknown until the First Crusade, an event that marked the beginning of systematic genocide and mass expulsions in Europe. Jews were accused of countless crimes, from causing the Black Death to practicing ritual murder, and the author attempts throughout to reveal the sociological and psychological forces behind these irrational charges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L駮n Poliakov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812218639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812218633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 5.88w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 16 - Strongly Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/05\/2008 pg. 72","brand":"L駮n Poliakov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980583010559,"sku":"9780812218633","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5a244a6-f592-4fc5-ab97-8abf6051884e.jpg?v=1683250726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-history-of-anti-semitism-volume-leon-poliakov-9780812218633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
