Nazis did not create anti-semitism, it is deep-rooted in european history. *anti-judaism was more prevalent earlier in history, gradually moved towards anti- Enslaving of jewish people after conquering the land. Under the rule of the romans the jewish were tolerated. When the jews revolted (in the jewish wars) the romans sieged jerusalem. Most memorable resistance from the jews in history. Founders of christianity saw the lack of belief in jesus in jewish religion as outdated. Therefore the jewish people were impeding progress. Jesus was sold out buy the jews, no morality, willing to sell out one of their own for monetary gain. Judas became the embodiment of all jews. Christian felt guilt for executing jesus, ended up projecting this on the jews. Many christian scholars attacked judaism (mainly saints)
