Antisemitism did not start with the rise of Nazism in the Twentieth Century; nor did it stop with the end of the Second World War. In fact, more than seventy years later, antisemitism appears to be increasing. For several years now, the number of violent anti-Jewish incidents in many European countries has been disturbingly high. But antisemitism is much more than violence against Jews and Jewish institutions. It goes deeper: it is rooted in the mindset of people—concealed in malicious prejudices and age-old stereotypes. This book offers insights into this phenomenon, both in its historical and its contemporary context, and aims to help answer some of the questions people frequently ask.

The Anne Frank Foundation (Dutch: Anne Frank Stichting) is a foundation in the Netherlands originally established to maintain the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. This foundation also advocates the fight against antisemitism and racism and publishes the Dutch annual Monitor Racisme en Extreem-rechts (Racism and Extreme Right Monitor), in which the activities of present-day racists and extreme rightists are studied. Outside the Netherlands, the Anne Frank Foundation organizes expositions and information on Anne Frank. The Anne Frank Stichting was founded on 3 May 1957 to prevent the tearing down of the house in Amsterdam in which Anne Frank was hidden since 1942 during the German occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War. In 1960 the Anne Frank Huis became a museum. The director of the foundation was Hans Westra, who retired in 2011 and was followed by Ronald Leopold.
