the threat to their ideological stance posed by the Holocaust by recasting the latter as a tissue of Jewish lies. As Yakira justly observes, “Reflecting on the story of Rassinier’s life and reading his writings are a lesson in the genesis of a perversion and in the mechanisms by which ideology can triumph over reality.”46
What I have been attempting to show in this chapter is that the entire history of political antisemitism consists of a series of such “triumphs,” achieved through the operation of just such mechanisms. In the next chapter, I shall return to the second main question before us: What is it about the Jews, of all the nations of Europe, that has made them so fatally convenient as a means to such triumphs?
