ABSTRACT
In December 1993 the Vatican officially recognised the state of Israel. In May 1994, a document was leaked in which the Vatican seemed to admit co-responsibility for the age-old persecution of the Jews that culminated in the Holocaust. Soon after these events many newspapers and weeklies were able to publish reviews of two millennia of antisemitism based on information gathered by historians since the end of the Second World War. The history of antisemitism in the Netherlands is unique. It has never been as vehement as it was, such as, in France, Germany, and Austria. The authors' uses correspondence analysis to assess the religious, social-psychological, and social-structural location of prejudice against Jews. Correspondence analysis is a technique for the analysis of nominal data. To determine the decisive characteristics predisposing people to religious and secular antisemitism the authors applies multiple regression analyses to the same data.
