Debunked: Did Jews Run the Slave Trade? Who was Carl Lutz? Jews, Art and the Medieval Economy; The Italian Village that Invented Judaism from Scratch

Dear Dr. Abramson,

I have wanted to contact you for a long time. I first found your channel during the beginning of the pandemic when I was at home. I have truly enjoyed your videos and have learned a great deal.

I just watched “Why do Some People Hate Jews? I am very sorry to hear about your student who was attacked. I too am worried about where this recent increase in anti-Semitism will lead.

After watching this video some questions come to mind:

1. Do you think that college students tend to be more “anti-establishment” than older generations, and that this may be one reason that Gen Z adults may support Hamas over Israel? In addition, they are clearly ill informed.

2. What effect did the “money changers” have upon anti-Semitism?

3. Do you think that Jews are not telling the full story about the Nazis? Everyone knows that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust, but are unaware that millions more were slaughtered (Catholics, blacks, homosexuals, gypsies, special needs people, etc.)?

Thank you again for all of your teachings.
