"The Holocaust could only happen because the massacre of the Jews of York happened in 1190. The Holocaust could only happen because the expulsion of Jews from Spain was decreed in 1492. The Holocaust could only happen because it was ruled that the Jews of Venice were to be confined to a Ghetto in 1516. The Holocaust could only happen because at least tens of thousands of Jews were massacred in the Eastern European pogroms of the late 18th and early 19th century. And just as antisemitism existed before the Holocaust, those two thousand years of hatred were not erased by the Holocaust."
