"In France, that let down the barriers more than a hundred years ago, the feeling of antipathy is still strong enough to sustain an anti-Jewish political party"

- Franz Boas

About this Quote

This quote by Franz Boas is referring to the enduring anti-Semitism in France. Despite the truth that France abolished anti-Jewish laws more than a century earlier, the sensation of antipathy towards Jews is still strong enough to support an anti-Jewish political party. This recommends that the anti-Semitic sentiment in France is deeply rooted and has been given through generations. It is a tip that although laws may have altered, attitudes and beliefs can take a lot longer to move. This quote highlights the importance of continuing to challenge and face anti-Semitism in order to produce a more inclusive and tolerant society.
