In fact, I noticed something about this too. Apparently, a lot of the antisemitism has been imported from/by Europe before the Holocaust occurred

For example, a good proxy for antisemitism is the Blood Libel myth Wikipedia had something that perked my ears. Look at the bolded:

1840 Rhodes blood libel: The Jews of Rhodes, during the Ottoman Empire, were accused of murdering a Greek Christian boy. The libel was supported by the local governor and the European consuls posted to Rhodes. Several Jews were arrested and tortured, and the entire Jewish quarter was blockaded for twelve days. An investigation carried out by the central Ottoman government found the Jews to be innocent.

That’s right, Europeans have helped instigate this. I say, they fix it.
