Germany
Germany's antisemitic history was shaped by Christian traditions, racial nationalism, Nazism, postwar memory culture, and modern extremist currents.
Core Context
Germany is central to modern antisemitism because older Christian anti-Jewish ideas fused with 19th-century racial nationalism and later became the ideological foundation of Nazism. After 1945, Holocaust memory became a defining part of public life, while antisemitic narratives persisted in far-right, Islamist, conspiratorial, and online subcultures.
