A bemused thought here: If this thread were of 80 years ago, would the subject be the persecution of Jews?

There would have been even more reason to bewail the persecution of Jews then than of Christians today.

After all, Jews were persecuted- not because of their beliefs but because of things beyond their control: their birth.

Seriously, were there writers who took up the cudgel against the violence against Jews?

(I fully recognize that the 30s-40s in Germany were not the first, only or last offenses against Jews.)
