Culture of Life vs. Culture of Death

What the Holocaust taught me is that the denial of God can lead to genocide. There is a German scholar who wrote that one of the main reasons for Hitler’s ravenous anti-Semitism was that Judaism was the first religion to believe in the sanctity of human life. Judaism says that human beings are made in the image of God. That stood in the way of Hitler’s hatred and desire to kill people. As Stalin is reported to have once said, “No people, no problem.” Richard Pipes

I think this is getting close to a real explanation for anti-Semitism.

As the father of relatively young children, I've lamented the lack of teaching the subject of history.
If you are a parent, please make sure your children have access to books and videos that show and explain the nature of anti-semitism and genocide in general.
The morality and sensibilities of our kids depend on you--the parent.
