What were the views of the Church Fathers on Jews and Judaism during the Patristic Era? I am currently learning about the holocaust in History class right now. It was mentioned that during the Middle Ages, some Christians were anti-semitic. I wondered how the Early Church (Pre-Schism) and the Church Fathers viewed Jews and Judaism. I've looked at a few sources and see that some were against the Jewish religion because it wasn't Christianity. It hasn't mentioned anything about the Jewish ethnic group but I guess it's possible that it means both. I still am unsure on what is true so my question is what was the early church and church father's views on Jews and Judaism?
Addendum: After a suggestion, I would like to rephrase the question and only ask: What was the Church Father's views on Jews and Judaism during the Patristic Era?
Here is a small excerpt (108.2.3) of &quot;Dialogue with Trypho the Jew&quot;, a writing by Justin Martyr in approximately 160 C.E.:
You also accuse Him [Jesus] of having taught the same godless, wicked, and criminal teachings which you bring up in condemnation of all those who everywhere confess Christ to be their teacher and the son of God.  Moreover, not even now, after your city has been conquered and your country laid waste, do you repent, but dare to curse Jesus and all who believe in Him.
