Poem: Antisemitism, a vile and ancient hate That still persists in our modern age The Jewish people, subjected to discrimination Persecuted and oppressed throughout history Their culture and traditions, a source of inspiration Yet still, they face prejudice and intolerance.

Antisemitism, or: Jew hatred
