Examples of intolerance towards Jews in Christian world:

1. In Spain, every child born of marriage between Christian and Jew was to be baptised. Later at the height of inquisition all Jews were given the option to convert or leave Spain. Thousands were burnt alive and many lived as crypto-Jews.

2. When epidemics like plague spread, the Jews were always blamed and charged with the spread of diseases. Like in 14 th century when thousands of Jews were held responsible for Black Death and killed.

3. In 1215 Jews were ordered to wear distinct dress from Christians so that they could be identified. At many places they were made to wear yellow badges or specified dress.

4. Almost 13,000 Jews were burnt in Spain alone during inquisition for not converting to Christianity in 15th-16th centuries.

5. Popes through out history condemned Jews. Pope Julius III publicly condemned their holy book Talmud.

6. For two millennium (2,000 years) Jews were persecuted in one form or the other in Europe. Always harassed and thrown into ghettoes.

Here is a link on the History of the Holocaust

I think that is enough reading for now. If you want more I can get it.

Ehud:
The worst massacres and extermination attempts throughout history have always been in Germany/Poland/Austria.  In the middle ages in Germany there were literally multiple holocausts.  It's also sad but true that the two other massive holocausts both which according to one of those sites killed 1/3 of Jews there, were in Germany and Poland.  The anti-semitic attacks in Germany and Poland were always so vicious and widespread, one can almost look back at history and say that a holocaust was foreseeable and inevitable. 

Ambiorix:
I would like to add something to , about the fact you mention Jabotinsky; the inevitability of the Holocaust.

It i a fact that "modern anti-semitism" began in France, with the case Dreifuss.

The 19th century in Austria/Poland/Germany was totally anti-semitic.

Therefore, after the disastrous outcome in Germany of the 1929 crash , and the Versaille-treaty,
the foundations of the Holocaust were laid.

Do you know that in XVI century the 80% of European Jews lived in Polish-Lituenian comonwealth? that in XIX century Poland not existed? and that pogroms were organised by ocuping Russian tsarist goverment? or that before WWI the France, Russia and Britain were more antisemitic than German and Autro Hungarian Empires? that during this war Russian Jews were welcoming the German and Austrian soldiers as liberators from pogroms made by Kozaks? From which country mosy of US jews escaped?
