Is ‘new’ anti-Semitism really ‘new’?<FNR></FNR><FN>Paper delivered at the conference ‘Anti-Semitism in the Contemporary World’, Australian Centre for the Study of Jewish Civilization, Monash University, Melbourne, 6–7 February 2005. </FN>

The paper considers whether the ‘new’ anti-Semitism identified by, for example, Bauer, Pipes and Sacks is in fact a new phenomenon. It considers several key moments in the history of anti-Semitism, together with a series of meetings facilitated by Volkan between psychotherapists affected by the Holocaust. The conclusion is that the ‘new’ manifestations are ‘old’ processes reactivated in new contexts. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
