Introduction
In the 19th century, Europe saw a strong rise in nationalism and an increasing focus
on race. For Jews, who had already faced centuries of discrimination mainly because
of their religion, this period brought even more challenges. They had long been
wrongly blamed for the death of Jesus Christ, which fueled much of the hostility
against them. Over time, this religious prejudice turned into racism, with the belief that
Jews were somehow naturally flawed.
