註釋
Expounds the Frankfurt School's theory of antisemitism as a paranoia rooted in the authoritarian personality, produced by socialization in the authoritarian society. Comments that, while the theory is still largely valid, it requires some modification in the light of newer sociological and psychological insights as well as the actual forms taken by antisemitism in Germany today. After a long postwar period of latency, antisemitism has reappeared, usually in code but also overtly and violently, and increasingly in the younger generation; this in spite of a more liberal socialization in West Germany since the 1960s. In former East Germany, authoritarianism does not seem to have led to antisemitism. An important element in post-Holocaust antisemitism, even more potent today, is "secondary antisemitism", already diagnosed by the Frankfurt School: antisemitism arising from the need to repress the memory of the Holocaust and German guilt. This emerged in the almost unanimous condemnation of Goldhagen for exposing the antisemitic motivation of "ordinary Germans" who participated in the extermination of the Jews.
