YES. Antisemitism is Jew-hatred. The Holocaust was the murder of 6 million Jews because they were Jews (in addition to the murder of 5 million Non-Jews for assorted other reasons). The murder of 6 million people because of their identity is a clear expression of hatred of that identity.
Antisemitism was one of the factors which led to the Holocaust.
It reached a peak in the Holocaust.
The antisemitism during the Holocaust was just an exaggerated form of pre-Holocaust antisemitism.
Yes, and the Japanese were completely bewildered by antisemitism.
it is not. The people who perpetrated the Holocaust may have been, or the Holocaust may have some roots in antisemitism, but it is a name given to the events, it holds not prejudice, it just is.
it affected them by the nazi starting the holocaust
YES. Antisemitism is Jew-hatred. During World War II, the Holocaust, which was the murder of 6 million Jews because they were Jews (in addition to the murder of 5 million Non-Jews for assorted other reasons), occurred. The murder of 6 million people because of their identity is a clear expression of hatred of that identity.Even in countries that were not explicitly part of the Holocaust, Antisemitism was rather common and well-known.
The word antisemitism means prejudice against or hatred of Jews.
Yes. Without long-standing prejudices against the Jews it would have been virtually impossible to demonize them in way that the Nazis did and to try to exterminate them. From a social and political point of view, one cannot simply pick on any group and exterminate it. It has often been said that antisemitism is as irrational as hating people with red hair, but of course 'redheads' have not been demonized and persecuted.

antisemitism is the longest hatred cause in history that still survives today. Among the most common manifestations of antisemitism throughout history were pogroms. The first such incident to be labeled a pogrom is believed to be anti-Jewish rioting in Odessa in 1821. That was in Russia. But this has been practice during millennial.
