Abstract
This paper discusses how there is not period in history or place in the world where Jews were not at one time or another excluded from ordinary life and often barred from sustainable human existence, so much so that they were forced to move again and again to retain their lives and their identity. The paper also examines how this can even be said of modern times, when a great deal of the religious aspect of Jewishness has been abandoned for a more secular faith and existence, hence the need of the world to develop other aspects, than faith as an exclusionary tool, the biological root of anti-Semitism.

From the Paper
"The popular belief in the dominance of the Jewish population in the film industry as well as in many other industries that dominate popular culture is essential to understanding the immigrant story. The United States truly became a hotbed of anti-Semitism when the immigration to the United States began to expand from traditional western European sources to large influxes of eastern European immigrants in the 1920s and 1930s as well as later, during the Nazi overtake of Germany and then later many European nations during WWII. (Brustein 1) Many people of other nationalities, and especially those of western European decent felt infringed upon by the movement of Eastern Europeans into the states and the old standards of anti-Semitism became the standard of the anti-immigration movement, as well as many defaming popular campaigns that openly spoke of the need for control and hatred of the Jews as a people, but not necessarily as a faith.
