Abstract in another language

Connections of antisemitism and misogyny have been widely examined from the present back to the 19th century. Going back to pre-Christian antiquity the article examines connections between exclusion and suppression of female and Jewish humans. Antique Greek tales of male child killing by Amazons and roman infanticidal practices correspond to accusations of Jewish human sacrifice. The age of crusades generated the blood libel and fixed it to the feminized, menstruating Jewish man. Pogroms, witch trials and Hexenhammer use the same words to accuse females and Jews of witchcraft, non-reproductive medicine and sexuality, as Jews and witches are marked with the same iconography. Finally post Shoa narration invents the Jewish witch and infanticidal Jewish mother.
