ABSTRACT
Anti-semitism in japan reached its peak during World War II, when Japan adopted various practices and theories of its Axis allies. Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda found many adherents in Japan, as it provided the Japanese with an easy explanation of why the West had opposed them: a group of sinister schemers, called Jews, was conspiring to rob them of the fruits of their economic achievements. According to this reasoning, the war in the Pacific was not a war between Japan and the West, but a war between Japan and the Jews.
