Jewish.

Judaism is the religion, tradition and culture of the Jewish people. Historically, it is the oldest of the three monotheistic religions, a group that includes Christianity and Islam that originated in the Middle East.

Since the Middle Ages in Europe, Jews have been victims of discrimination and persecution on religious grounds. Christians saw the Jewish faith as a deviation to be combated. At times, Jews were forced to convert or were prohibited from pursuing certain professions.

The image of the Jews as the murderer of Christ caused suspicion and hatred. In Christian countries, Jews suffered humiliation and expulsion. They were singled out as children of the devil and accused of murdering children as part of their religious rituals. However, the Church prohibited their denial of sustenance and the observance of the rites of their religion and prevented their total extermination.
