Judenhass
Dave Sim - 2008
For one thing, Arabs are Semites as well and the prejudice as it generally understood certainly doesn't apply equally to Arabs and Jews. It was in the early stages of researching this graphic narrative that I first encountered the German term Judenhass. Literally, Jew-Hatred. It seemed to me that the term served to distill the ancient problem to its essence, and in such a way as to hopefully allow other non-Jews (like myself) to see the problem 'unlaundered' and through fresh eyes. Europe and various other jurisdictions aren't experiencing a sudden upsurge in 'anti-Semitism'. What they are experiencing is an upsurge in Judenhass -- Jew-Hatred. So that's what I've chosen to call this story. - Dave Sim, Writer/Artist/Publisher
