This updated edition of the successful first publication provides up-to-date information on antisemitism and related hate crimes worldwide.

Antisemitism has evolved significantly in response to developments in recent years, such as changes in the international geo-political landscape, which have implications for antisemitism; new international protocols on human rights and civil liberties, which implicate antisemitism; and numerous academic studies of antisemitism. Ongoing questions related to the state of Israel and the Middle East are influential as well.

Profiles of key individuals, a data and documents section, a list of resources for further reading, a chronology, and a glossary of key terms are included.
