Abstract
Recent Jewish history narrated the activities of a determined people steeled by their Arab adversaries and willing to die in order that Israel may live. Yet impartial history's archives recalled an era less than half a century ago when the Jews had no national home and were not feared as a tenacious people. Antisemites characterized the Jew as his personal whipping boy. Whenever an available but harmless scapegoat was needed to explain whatever the calamity, the Jews often bore the burden of blame. This tendency was best exemplified in the Germany of the pre-war Hitler regime.
