On the general them of the decline of the west (which I should read in a good translation), antisemitism always seemed such an effort to me. Racism I understood perfectly well. Some people are differently coloured, and if we must hate someone, why not them. But antisemitism with its huge scope from Rothschields To Freud to Marx to Social Democracy and you name it seemed metaphysical (I know nothing about philosophy) and not even believed by those who believed it. As Hitler said once 'I know race does not really exist. Any farmer can tell you that. But it is really useful' or words to that effect. One Nazi film said that if jews were green it would make it easier to pick them out.
