Description
Summary:As opinion polls continuously show, antisemitism is common in all European countries, notwithstanding decades of Holocaust pedagogy and remembrance. In most countries, about twenty to forty percent of the populations credit various anti-Jewish stereotypes. These may be minorities, but they are strong ones, in many cases as large as that which voted for Hitler in 1932 and 1933. A common consensus, one found even in academic circles, is that this phenomenon rests at the social and political fringes of democratic society—primarily in resentful sections of the lower classes and in extremist political milieus.
