More than 500 years ago, tens of thousands of Jews fled Spain because of persecution. Now their descendants are being invited to return. Before the infamous Spanish Inquisition of the 15th Century, some 300,000 Jews lived in Spain. It was one of the largest communities of Jews in the world. Today, there are about 40,000 or 50,000 - but that number could be about to swell dramatically. In November,

It was the list that would have sent thousands more Jews to their deaths in Auschwitz and other extermination camps run by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime during the second world war, but this time the victims were to be Spaniards. The Spanish dictator, General Francisco Franco, whose apologists usually claim that he protected Jews, ordered his officials to draw up a list of some 6,000 Jews living in S

Stereotypes of Jews - Wikipedia
An 1873 caricature featuring stereotypical physical traits of a Jew In caricatures and cartoons, Ashkenazi Jews are usually depicted as having large hook-noses and dark beady eyes[1] with drooping eyelids.[2] Exaggerated or grotesque Jewish facial features were a staple theme in Nazi propaganda.

Google has banned an extension of its Chrome browser which was being used to identify Jewish names on the internet by surrounding them with three sets of brackets, or parentheses.
