Prayers for heretics and the conversion of Jews?

[ScapularDude]

I recently heard about how either during or after Vatican II, certain prayers were removed from Catholic liturgy (at least the Roman rite). These included prayers that railed against heretics and prayers for the conversion of Jews. Is this true? When were they completely removed? (if they ever existed, of course)
If anyone has any text of these prayers, please provide a link.

You can read about the history of the Good Friday prayer for the Jews here. The substantial changes had nothing at all to do with Vatican II – I’m not sure why you would think that, since the Holy Week changes were promulgated by Ven. Pius XII in 1955. The prayer for the pagans, though, was not changed, to my knowledge. You can read the old version (1880) here, starting at the very end of the page I’ve linked.

Before:

Let us pray also for the faithless Jews: that Almighty God may remove the veil from their hearts (2 Corinthians 3:13-16); so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. (‘Amen’ is not responded, nor is said ‘Let us pray’, or ‘Let us kneel’, or ‘Arise’, but immediately is said Almighty and eternal God, who dost not exclude from thy mercy even Jewish faithlessness: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen

After:

Let us pray for the Jewish people, the first to hear the word of God, that they may continue to grow in the love of his name and in faithfulness to his covenant. (Prayer in silence. Then the priest says Almighty and eternal God, long ago you gave your promise to Abraham and his posterity. Listen to your Church as we pray that the people you first made your own may arrive at the fullness of redemption. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
