Philo of Alexandria, and other Jewish writers from the early to middle first century, never even mentioned the Christians. Josephus, a former Jewish priest, then military leader and historian, writing late in the first century seems to have mentioned Christians briefly and somewhat favourably.
So, we do not really have much information about how the Christians and Jews treated each other, apart from a few references in the New Testament, although there seems to have been tension between the two religions from early times.
The Christians maligned the Jews for the death of Jesus. After the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, some Christians seem to have seen their religion as the natural successor to Judaism. They were also competitors for converts among the pagan or gentile population.
Towards the end of the first century, the Jews responded by banning the Christians from their synagogues and requiring worshippers to condemn Christianity, as evidence that they were not secretly Christians.

How did the Romans taking Jerusalem and leveling the Temple have an impact on the Jewish-Christian relations in the late first century?
It was the first major event to cause a division between Jews and Christians, or followers of 'The Way'. Christians started to separate themselves from Jews, and became more pro-Roman. This is an explanation for the glowing review of Pilate, and the discrimination of the Jewish priests. Christians allowing non-Jews and belief that Jesus was the Messiah caused further split.
Why Germans treat Jews?
Same way. They turned them over to the Germans, exported them to camps, and allowed the SS to arrest them. Anything the Nazi wanted they gave.
Why do some Christians hate Jews?
Answer 1There are definitely some Christians who hate Jews, mainly because of ignorance and watching too many anti-Semitic films.Answer 2In Anne Frank's Diary, it says that Christians blamed for giving away secrets to the Germans, because they betray their helpers, and for the the fact that, through the Jews, many Christians suffered terrible punishments and dreadful fates.Answer 3If any Christian was to hate a Jew it would be ridiculous as Jesus was a Jew. True Christians do not hate the Jews. Hatred is not one of the fruits of the spirit of God.Answer 4Throughout history Christians who have not embraced this modern and liberal accepting view of the other have hated Jews and it bares some explanation. There are several bases on which these views have been predicated. It should be noted that the overwhelming majority of Christians no longer hold any of these Anti-Semitic views.1) Blaming Jews for the Crucifixion: Although most Christians today follow the Pope's perspective on this matter (even if they are not Catholic), throughout history Christians often referred to Matthew 27:24-25. Those verses claim that the Jews decided to take on a curse for choosing to execute Jesus over Barabas. The lines in question are: 24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" 25 All the people [Jews] answered, "His blood is on us and on our children!"2) Rejection of Christ: Christianity held a special place of contempt for Jews because they explicitly rejected Christ as their Lord and Savior.3) Rejection of the Holy Faith: Before the Modern Era, the idea of religious freedom was very limited, especially in Europe. Catholics even murdered Protestants for heresy. Since the Jews were far more heretical, correspondingly they received greater punishment.4) Blood Libels: Throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, there was a pervasive belief that Jews used the blood of Christian boys for the creation of unleavened bread on Passover. This is, of course, ridiculous, but many people believed it and hated Jews for this perceived injustice.5) Wealth or Poverty: Jews who were wealthy were despised by Christians who were poor. This was common all throughout Western Europe. Jews who were poor were despised by Christians who were both poor and wealthy. This happened far more often in Eastern Europe. Although this is not a religious reason, this sentiment was primarily felt in Europe before the 1800s. (Since the 1800s, it has gained much more of a foothold in the Arab World.)6) General Anti-Semitic Rationales: There are a number of other reasons for Anti-Semitism, but these are not exclusive to Europeans or to Christians such as: Fear of the Other, Pseudo-Scientific Racism, Conspiracy Theories, Failure to Assimilate "Properly", and Disbelief that Anyone Can Believe Differently among others.Answer 5: Various Answers about Christians Not Hating JewsWe Don't Hate Jews.I wouldn't say that Christians hate Jews. I'm a Christian, and I don't hate them. We might not agree on who Jesus is, but that doesn't mean that we hate each other.Also not all who have the name of being a Christian are such. 'Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven but he that does the will of my Father'. The Jews are by nationality God's chosen people, through whom the savior of the world came. God's promise to Abraham that 'all the nations of the world would be blessed' through his descendants has been abundantly fulfilled in Christ. Christians are thankful to God for his amazing preservation of the Jews to this day. He is certainly not finished with them. He loves them just as he loves every other person.True Christians do not hate. True Jews (I am guessing) do not hate. We strongly dislike but don't hate. And Christians don't hate Jews. We just have different views.We don't, any good christian wouldn't. I have a crush on a Jewish girl.Answer 6It may be because of one or more of the following reasons: Jews are usually more loyal to Israel than their own countries were they live. and/orJews don't believe in Jesus as son of God, or God, or prophet, and/orJews killed Jesus; as believed by ChristiansWe dont, any good christian wouldnt, i have a crush on a jewish girl

The Crusades were rising hostility to the Jews. More and More Christians believed that all non-Christians were their enemy.

Many Crusaders who stayed in Palestine came to respect Muslims, but Cristian tolerance toward Jews continued.
Name one difference of belief or practice of contemporary Christians?
Contemporary Christians of the United States are different from the New Testament early days Christians/Jews. We have church buildings and they did not. We live in the modern western world and they lived in the ancient and eastern way of thought. Most of them were Jews who came to believe Jesus was the Messiah. Most of the contemporary Christians in the United States are Gentile Christians. There are modern Messianic Jews who do believe Jesus is the Messiah and Savior of the world. We have modern instruments to use with our singing and the old days Christians barely had an instrument within 5 miles of their worship meetings. Our music is sung in English and their music was sung in Aramaic or Greek or Hebrew. The Messianic Jews of today will often sing in the Hebrew style and in the Hebrew language. We have the same core beliefs as those of the New Testament Christians. The NT Christians did not have the "Roman Catholic Church or a Pope." Contemporary Protestant Christians and Messianic Christians do not have the Roman Catholic Rule or the Pope either. We believe the Scripture is the only authority for the believer as well as God Almighty.
In what way are Judaism and Christianity related?
Jews and Christains are related. They both believe in the Lord God. But the Jews only believe in the old testament ( Before Jesus was born).

Pronouced Me-Sigh-A.
