^{Antisemitism / racism}
Anti-Semitism is a particular manifestation of racism, discrimination and xenophobia: prejudice based on people’s external appearance, ethnic origin, or religion. Racists use these kind of scales to order their surroundings into categories such as foreign and familiar, inferior and superior, or subordinate and privileged, and refer in part to crude and pseudo-scientific theories of race, which attracted particular attention in the National Socialist period. Xenophobia, which migrants encounter particularly frequently, is closely linked to racism. Anne Frank told Kitty about the anti-Semitism she experienced before the family went into hiding. Now – more than 75 years later – Kitty is able to observe how the refugees she meets in Amsterdam also experience marginalisation and discrimination.
