Nick Ryan (2004). New Internationalist.
The report, based on interviews with the individuals themselves, examines the antisemitic motivations of key Holocaust deniers and considers the receptiveness of the wider audience to which they are trying to appeal.
European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (2004). Council of Europe.
After establishing the observations of contemporary antisemitism that inform the policy document, a series of steps for countering antisemitism are recommended for the member states. These largely address the prioritisation of the issue, consistency in the measures employed and their implementation, harmonisation of the legal measures used to challenge antisemitism and the addressing of antisemitism on a societal level. The policy paper takes note of antisemitism linked to the Arab-Israeli conflict in mainstream discourse and in the media.
The site offers an exposé and rebuttal of common arguments, and techniques of argumentation, employed by Holocaust deniers.
Anat Peri (2001). Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism (SISCA).
Using the example of Haider’s antisemitism, the author considers the emotional motives and practical content of Holocaust revisionism. Issues of guilt, attempts to relativise the Holocaust, attempts to suggest Jewish complicity with the Nazis, and Holocaust inversion are all addressed.
Michael Shafir (2002). Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism (SISCA).
The article considers various forms of Holocaust ‘negationism’ in Eastern Europe including denial, attempts to deflect responsibility for local Holocaust era events, the blaming of the victims and the comparative trivialisation of the Holocaust. The legacy of communist manipulation of the historical record for post-communist era treatment of the Holocaust and some of the motives and purposes of contemporary ‘negationism’ are discussed.
Dina Porat and Kenneth S. Stern (2005). The Stephen Roth Institute for the study of contemporary antisemitism and racism.
Beginning with the origins of the term in the 19th century, the authors explore the complexities that have arisen in past attempts to characterise and define antisemitism. Recent developments and debates such as those surrounding the various EUMC definitions are also addressed.

Gerard S. Sloyan. United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The origins of, and key historical instances of Christian persecution of Jews is examined in detail. The ongoing relevance of traditional Christian demonisation of Jews to the racially based antisemitism of more recent centuries is also highlighted.
Yuri Tabak (2003). Jews of Euro-Asia.
The journal article surveys the history of relations between the Russian Orthodox Church and Jews. Similarities between the religious repression of Jews in Western Christendom and in Russia are highlighted, whilst the lesser role of the Russian Church compared with the Byzantine Church, the Catholic Church of the early and late Middle Ages and the Protestant denominations of Western Europe as time developed is also suggested.
Hans Jansen (2007). Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA).
The article is based on an interview with Hans Jansen, a Dutch academic who has published extensively on the history of antisemitism, and on religiously based antisemitism in particular. Here, he details the origins of antisemitic positions in the writings of the founders and reformers of Protestant Christianity. He also suggests that contemporary Christian leaders have failed to publicly speak out against instances of Islamist and Arab antisemitism.
