Gassing with my father-in-law the other day, he made the point that, in "Germany", suspicion of the Jewish is a long-standing social feature, dating back centuries. It seems that whenever the local chief, or prince, Graf, or whatever, needed cash to pay off his bookie or his bar-bill or have a pop at the next Count down the way, the simplest way would be to be to stir up a fear and hatred of the local Semites, burn down their properties and businesses and houses and recover his money that way, as they were invariably the ones holding his debts.
With no little sense of bitterness and resentment, he explained that they were never taught about this in school; the War, for example, is always explained away as a one-off, unprecedented massive hissy fit.
