Abstract
Anti-Semitism, as an ancient and subtle ethnic and religious discrimination, is the precursor for more violent forms of biases that manifest themselves in today’s newer generations as a need for nationalism, opposed to a unified Europe. Anti-Semitism, among other discriminations, is a deviation from the shared values that the Western European nations agreed to uphold through the supranational organizations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU). How does anti-Semitism among member states affect these organizations and what does that mean in the grand scheme of stability and security in Europe? If the democratic member states of NATO and the EU cannot count on the inclusive, tolerant, democratic rhetoric of their populations or enforce the value systems that they established, the security of Europe is in danger. This thesis examines these issues in the context of Poland (a newer member of both organizations) and Germany (a founding member of both organizations), with an eye toward the past and present of anti-Semitism in each state and the future of the leading principles of these regional/supranational organizations.
