Persecution of Jews

The persecution of Jews is a major aspect of antisemitism and Jewish history. It has led to waves of refugees and the formation of diaspora communities around the world. An early major event followed the Neo-Babylonian conquest of the Kingdom of Judah in 597 BCE, when many Jewish subjects were persecuted and exiled. Jews have also been scapegoated for disasters and political developments, including under Nazism, which led to the Holocaust.
